Join me as I ride on the Tyne and Wear METRO in Newcastle! This impressive transit system opened in 1980 and consists of 60 different stations. In this video I share footage from on board the METRO along with travelling down to the stunning Whitley Bay. Along with taking a walk along the promenade, I check out Spanish City and St Mary's Lighthouse!

Greetings from Ireland, thank you for your video which I enjoyed very much. I like to visit Newcastle and the general area as I have an interest in the history of the Jarrow Crusade. I always make sure to visit Whitley Bay as well and have a walk on the sands and a pint uptown! I find the people very friendly and hospitable. Hope to be back late Sept/early Oct now that lockdown restrictions are easing.

Great video Shaun, nice to see my home city and surrounding area on KZfaq, my advice if you want to take in more of the metro system would have been to get off at Whitley bay get back on at monkseaton and get back off at North Shields, then get the ferry (as part of your day saver ticket) over to South Shields and head back into Newcastle from South Shields metro. Reading other comments though - Beamish and holy island are great shouts to visit, and it is a great shame you didn't get to walk over to the lighthouse

hi Shaun. I recommend you visit the wonderful city of Lille in Northern France. It is easily accessible from central London. I know how you love metro systems and Lille has a very cool and cute system. The city is also full of culture and history. Also contains some wonderful French architecture. If you are to visit the brilliant Belgian and French theme parks, Lille is a great city to stay within as it is nestled between the fabulous two countries. i hope you take this location into consideration after the awful Covid 19 pandemic is over and done with. I am loving your videos on TPW and can see great potential for this channel aswell.

That’s an odd train design. Never seen anything like that with the front window seat other than on driverless systems. Really cool feature, though I imagine probably not too great for the driver. Shame you didn‘t get to try out the Hamburg metro back when you visited miniature wonderland. It‘s got the most scenic line on any metro in the world imo. Love AdventureShawn so far, right up my alley.

I do recall having a cup of tea and a pastry at a really nice old style coffee shop on the walk by the beach. Although, I have no connection to the area whatsoever, I have come to love the place, especially places along the Metro line and find the Geordies ever so kind and friendly. I'm from the ROI but know Belfast well and travelled up a lot to Queens University and Malone Road area over the years. I visited the Museum at South Shields to do some research on the Crusade but I found that most of the material seems to be at Jarrow Town Hall , which I hope to visit next time. I shall have a look for your vids and view them later if they're still online. Tx again!
