Getting Around the City

Whether you're heading to a matchday at St James' Park or exploring the historic heart of the city, the Tyne & Wear Metro and local bus networks provide a reliable and efficient way to get where you need to go. We recommend using the Metro for its speed and direct routes, while local buses offer a great way to see the quieter, more residential areas.

  • Check the Metro website for real-time updates and service changes.
  • Use the 'My Journey' tool to plan your route from start to finish.
  • Local bus routes are clearly marked and run frequently throughout the day.
