Wee Gus Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Arriving Newcastle 11.38.(thanks thomas)Looks best choice for me. A bit longer, but it means no change, and swapping seats carry-outs etc. Who's in. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Since the team are training down in Teeside is there any chance there'll be another friendly in the region? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterjag Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Since the team are training down in Teeside is there any chance there'll be another friendly in the region? York would be good. On the east coast mainline, good links to Glasgow and selfishly easy for me and other england based jags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. If you read Tom's post it'll be better till we get confirmation before booking or arranging anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_mac Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Unfortunately it looks like all the cheap train tickets for the 9am train have gone, likewise with the train coming back, need to wait till 7.18 before getting a train. I really wish the club would get their finger out with things like this. Why is it confirmed on the Blyth site but not on ours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what to say Ian other than, irrespective of what is on the Blyth website, this game isn’t a confirmed fixture yet. Knowing this, would it have been better to have said nothing and just crossed my fingers that the game went ahead as people made their travel arrangements?

Tom Maybe the situation could have been avoided if the communication with Blyth had been a bit better? And please don't take any of my posts personally as I fully appreciate the work you do at the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagsfan58 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Booked on 9am Glasgow Central arr Newcastle 11:38 (hopefully) Coming back on 19:37 getting back 22:17 Trainline £28 (First class down only £4 extra - freebies may make this cheaper and a also more room on the table for the cans!) Good bus service to Blyth, return http://www.arrivabus.co.uk/serviceInformation.aspx?id=3909 Could not make this last time, but if as good as Lancaster a few years back then will be a good one.

Can anyone who went last time confirm if this is just a normal bus or is it a coach with a toilet? Could be a nightmare journey after a belly full of ale on the train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancipital Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Can anyone who went last time confirm if this is just a normal bus or is it a coach with a toilet? Could be a nightmare journey after a belly full of ale on the train It's a nae-bog double decker bus sadly, and a total dog of a journey, despite the fact it says X for Xpress it stops at every lamppost in Northumberland. here's the bus timetable, also bear in mind it's 10 / 15 minutes walk from Central to Haymarket bus station (or 2 stops on the metro, either green or yellow line). If there's enough of you in a group it might well be worth phoning a private hire taxi, guessing it would be about £20/25 but the bus is about a fiver return from Newcastle anyway and it would save about half an hour, which is a lifetime when bladder pressure is starting to build.
