Domestic Travel
Information on how to get to Newcastle, including maps, can be obtained from the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative website.
We also thought that you might find the following information useful:
Air: If you are travelling by air to the United Kingdom, check the possibility of direct and/or indirect flights to Newcastle International Airport. There may not be much difference in the price of the air ticket and you will save a lot of time and money by avoiding travelling into and out of London. Alternatively, you might also like to check flights to Edinburgh. There are frequent bus and rail links between Edinburgh and Newcastle.
If you are travelling to Newcastle from Europe, you may wish to check various budget airline companies (Easyjet, Ryanair, and Jet2 all fly into Newcastle airport).
Train: International visitors are often shocked at the high price of transport in Britain (especially by train). We strongly recommend that you book your journeys to and from Newcastle well in advance. By doing this, you will usually get a much cheaper price. You can book train tickets at The Trainline. Travelling from London to Newcastle in time for the start of the conference on the morning of Wednesday 16th July is likely to be very expensive; if you are coming by train from London it is probably best to arrive on Tuesday evening.
The travel time from London to Newcastle is approximately 3 hours. It is worth spending a little time searching for the cheapest options: it is often cheaper to book two singles than to buy a return ticket.
Bus: There are buses from London to Newcastle with National Express. Although it is cheaper than the train, the service takes approximately 6 hours.
Transport in Newcastle: If you arrive in Newcastle by air, avoid the expense of a taxi by getting the metro train from the airport to the city centre for around £3. If you arrive by train, the mainline station is in the heart of the city, very close to many hotels and the conference location.
