Going a bit off topic here but it is releated to what's been said above...
There is no real suitable form of ID until you can apply for a provisional driving license, and most of these IDs for under 18s most places won't entertain them. Oh and the worst I had for a lack of ID was when I was 17 and tried to buy a 12 rated DVD in the Morton Park, Morrisons although the cashier seemed a right mardy cow.

(27 Oct 2015, 9:36 am)DanPicken Maybe I didn't explain right, They need a form of ID to prove I'm 11-16 so would that help or would I mighty as well pay Full Fare.

(27 Oct 2015, 11:47 am)Andreos1 Way back when, I tried to use my Under 16 card as it was then, to try and get a childs fare, on a United bus in Durham.
This was despite the driver on our 222 from Houghton saying he would only accept it as far as Rainton and he would have to charge us an adult fare from there (for the rest of the journey into Durham).
My argument, was that it showed my age and clearly demonstrated I was under 16.
Their argument, was that it wasn't valid outside of T&W.
If you used your POP Card in Durham now, would they accept it? Chances are, the response would be the same in Manchester.

)This is more of GNE employee based question but if anybody does have an answer, your response will be welcomed:
I currently get free transport to and from school via the Key Card. Now, I have never had to stay back after school before until now (which is expected given that I am in Year 11) so I have no idea whether I would be able to get the bus home with my free travel and be able to use it again from Stanley given that I would have to change there and get the 16 or 78 down to South Stanley as there is no direct service bus between those two points. I know some people will see me as being thick which is why I have chosen to ask here as nobody actually knows me to take the mick out of me (you know what 15-16 year olds are like )
If I could, it would be really useful and save all the hassle of getting picked up in the car. Thank you again in advance for any responses.

Heading to Newcastle City Hall tomorrow night, does anyone know if there are any car parks nearby although I imagine that I will be there until around 11pm so if there is a car park nearby it can't close before 11pm and preferably doesn't close even after that, don't want it to be like Ross Noble's Randomist DVD show where people were leaving before the show ended because the car park was losing.
Alternatively, does anybody know if there is any buses that run between Central Station and the City Hall?

(18 Nov 2015, 5:35 pm)Andreos1 There are several car parks nearby.
There is also on street parking behind the Hancock Museum. Should only take a few mins to walk down.
I would either get a metro to Haymarket or if you need a bus, get one to Eldon Square or to the bottom of John Dobson Street.
(18 Nov 2015, 6:30 pm)NK53 TKT 10, 11, 30 and 31 do the route, all stagecoachThanks both, will have a look when I go on the laptop later.
