I've gotta tell you, folks, this was a splendid ride. Aside from the old man hacking across the way from us on our northward trip, and the uncontrolled little kids nearby on our journey south, everything was grand on this voyage aboard an East Coast train. We got food and beverage service, complimentary Wi-Fi, and friendly staff members who were more than happy to fill up my teacup again and again if I wanted more. Talk about a smooth ride, too. You could barely tell we were speeding along as fast as we were. And the views of the North Sea are stunning outside. Ah... I wish I was back again right now.

Yes, Virgin Trains is a great rail company, but National Express EC trumps it for the following reasons: 1. Coach seats have more legroom. A lot more. 2. Seats are comfortable. Headrests are high and seats are nice and firm. 3. Overhead storage space is a little bigger than the other trains I've been on. and, by FAR, the number one reason... 3. Free WiFi for ALL passengers onboard. I missed an earlier train from Dundee to Edinburgh... that one was on ScotRail, and I'm so glad I missed it. =)

The Metro is a convenient way to get around Newcastle. The infamous black and yellow sign has…read moredominated the city since the 1980s and it is still going strong, even nowadays in 2017. It opened in 1980 and I don't think it has changed at all since then! The trains are old and rattle a lot, and the seats are quite frayed and ripped. Some of the stations are quite dated as well. The city centre stations all have large escalators, but they are not as large as the ones on the London Underground. These stations also have step free access in the form of very old, very unreliable lifts. I would avoid going in them as they seem very dodgy. It covers a good area of the city. You can get to the airport from the city centre in about 20 minutes, and it will only cost you about £5. You will need to select zones A, B and C for the airport, and that is why it is more expensive than other destinations. Not as large as the tube, but it has more frequent services than the Edinburgh Tram and covers more ground. It is also convenient for reaching the coast and Sunderland.

When we asked the driver why the delay was told he had traveled from south shields so there was never a driver waiting for us ! So the next day I phoned the office to speak to the manager and was told he was not in, then again, and again, So I will never use this company again and have informed family and friends of the false information I was given that they would be waiting for us at arrivals so please use beware of this problem with this company

Haymarket Metro is one of the stations serving Newcastle city centre on the Tyne and Wear Metro…read moresystem, it is located in Haymarket, close to the bus station and Northumberland Street. It is in a decent, central location and is the nearest metro station to places such as Newcastle University. As a station, it is slightly old-fashioned in parts, although some parts are slightly newer, having some work done around 2009/2010. There wasn't a huge staffed presence at this station, some parts, before you got to the main platform, seemed to have not changed much in the refurb, so this wasn't the greatest, nicest or brightest metro station in parts, which is a shame. I'm struggling to comment further - this metro station is probably below average, but in a decent location. Would it be missed if this station wasn't here? Probably because of the need for a metro-station in the Haymarket area, which is close to the University and the City centre of Newcastle/Northumberland Street, hence warranting at least a two-star rating.

At the moment I rate this metro station with two stars only since it is on ongoing maintenance and…read morerenovation thus imposing difficulty for the metro users, especially during the evenings when regularly most of the work is carried out. Since the Heymarket market station is located in one of the busiest areas in Newcastle and next to Newcastle university it has all the necessary facilities: 3 escalators ( the third recently placed), elevator and kiosks. The way to the platform is very steep so the use of escalators is essential. It is cleaned regularly and is very well lit at night time. The big advantage is the regular service.

Their engineering is quite something given that large parts of the wall is still standing after 2000 years.

Hadrian's Wall is expansive, so I'm sure Yelp has difficultly pinpointing any specific place for it. Hadrian's Wall was something I hadn't heard about until my traveling companion, Sara, talked to me about wanting to see it, and one day exploring the entire wall. It's a sort of pilgrimage people seem to undertake, and it looks like an amazing experience I'll never be able to do. Built by the Romans as a defensive wall structure, the wall as we see it today is just a small fraction of what once existed. Buried under dirt and rocks, the wall once stood at 16-20 feet (5-6 meters), and 10 feet (3 meters) thick . It was first constructed in AD122 (around 1800 years ago), during the reign of (you guessed it) Hadrian. It spans about 80 Roman miles, aka 72 miles. It consists of not only the wall, but milecastles, turrets, and earthworks. It was rebuilt from turf (yes, turf) to stone. And this stone is something you can tangibly touch now. We ended up just pulling over to the side of the road in our car, and following a few path markers through a pasture of sheep and cows; the sky was blue and the weather was perfect. There were large, fluffy white clouds unfurling above our heads, and the fragrant smell of grass and dirt and cows... Pungent and alive, but by no means unpleasant. Everything was lush and alive. Anyways, there were designated walkways through these pastures, so it's not like we just snuck onto someone's farm. We climbed up small wooden stairs to go over the fences, and through the pasture, and followed the trail into a wooded area, where the temperature around us cooled visibly, and we were dappled with shadows as we moved along it. The path bordered the wood, with the meadow on the other side of us, pitting up into a sort of precarious strip through shadows and light on each side of us. It narrowed, grew a wooden guardrail, and ended with a view of the rolling hills. I've never touched something so old in my life, and it is... beautiful. It was wonderful being around something so ancient, and I couldn't help but reflect on all the people who had been in that spot over the years. Through the hundreds of thousands of days, different weather, animals, and of course the life and death that that it's no doubt witnessed as the wall has slowly disappeared into the earth. And now, there's me... my fingers resting on the mottled stone. Cool to the touch, and roughed by countless seasons, gravity, and animals. And when I'm dead, this wall with remain. You gotta give it to the Romans... they could build a wall with longevity in mind.
