If you are looking to go in to the lakes, the rover that includes bus, ferry and train might be worth looking at.
Can an 11 year-old get a train alone from Newcastle-Durham?

(09 May 2016, 6:59 pm)Jimmi I'd still really love to do the Lakes but it's a right chew on just getting to Carlisle for a decent time. Annoyingly my plan of doing the southern parts of the Lakes whilst I'm away in Blackpool on holiday has unfortunately hit a rough patch due to the withdrawal of the evening 42's between Blackpool and Lanchester. Still love to get some time in down there at some point though. Unsure on my plans for this weekend at the moment.

(09 May 2016, 7:44 pm)Tom I wouldn't have a clue on the difference really - not sure about trains at all! How much is the rover?

Yeah and I'm guessing this will be the last year for the Olympians, some of them are great still! Shame they withdrew the evening 42's as you could have had a decent day out in Central Lakes.

(09 May 2016, 6:06 pm)NK53 TKT Amazing scenery on the Newcastle-Carlisle train, I recommend you get the 10:22 train because it is Abellio Scotrail, this is better than Northern

(10 May 2016, 11:56 am)northern156 In your opinion
Bearing in mind the Scotrail operated services continue to Glasgow; this often attracts a different range of clientéle as opposed to Carlisle services - usually more tipsy and loud from past experiences.

Am I right in thinking that an Arriva Tyne and Wear One Zone ticket will get me from Birtley all the way to Newcastle Airpot and out to Whitley Bay and North Tyneside for £4.30?!
That's ridiculous value. It's cheaper than a Birtley to Gateshead return on the Angel
A grand ride out (and some rugby) awaits

(20 May 2016, 5:04 pm)Tom Well you can't get to Newcastle Airport on Arriva but yeah it's great value as you can use it anywhere in North Tyneside/Newcastle. Or get a all zone one for £7.00 that gets you to Ashington, Morpeth, Hexham etc.

(20 May 2016, 6:25 pm)Ambassador Pricing is lost on me. No idea how GNE get away with their comparative pricing.
Got some rugby to catch at Magic Weekend or I'd be bashing up to Morpeth

(20 May 2016, 7:35 pm)Tom Yeah it's amazing how much the pricing varies!
I think the pricing here in North Tyneside is very good - £3.90 for a day ticket which covers Blyth, Killingworth, Newcastle, Wallsend, North Shields and Whitley Bay. An even still the single fares are decent, £1.50 can get you 5 or 6 miles in some cases.
But in some areas it's £4.10 for 5 miles. Not sure how the pricing is structured at all.

(20 May 2016, 9:29 pm)Ambassador My cynical guess is South And North Tyneside are competitive whereas particularly in Gateshead, there's a monopoly so charge what you want
