As long as you left Newcastle before 0730 (or after 0930) you'd get one, plus coming back, any time until 1530 and then after 1900 ish. Now they've been replaced with more expensive fares, I do hope they've not completely got rid of the £20 returns at decent times of day!!
Hopefully when I get a decent, well-paid job (got an interview for one on 1st May) I'm going to spend 2 nights in London - although the early planning I've done doesn't seem to go well on a light budget!
Aye, hotel prices kill it down there! If you look around though, the Fulham Travelodge or Putney Bridge Premier Inn is usually a good shout. I've used both years ago, and think I paid around 70 quid a night? Not bad at all for London prices.
