We're in South Shields, which is apparently serviced by the Metro.
We are about 6 miles due South from you, Seaburn, posh part of Sunderland . Some nice walking around South Shields, and the Barbour Factory shop if you like that kind of gear.
Good I have been told there are some good Real ale pubs and decent restaurants. Last train from Newcastle is just after 10 pm I think so will need to be swift after game I reckon
Managed to get a pub with rooms about 10 miles out and on the line into the city centre. Looking forward to it. Aiming to get there for 11am, meeting up with a few friends and family.
