(06 Apr 2016, 1:12 pm)Ambassador wrote You could alight the 23 at Windsor Road and walk up to Durham Rd/Windsor Rd and catch the X22 from ther, unless you really want to go to Barley Mow. 

Or catch the 82 to Barley Mow and hop onto the 23 into Birtley or Windsor Road

If I was to get it from Newcastle to Carlisle to save time instead of the bus and just want to know if the price is the same as it is online when bought from the station? Also is the journey up there any good compared to the 685, never been on that line before!!

(09 May 2016, 6:06 pm)Andreos1 wrote Not sure on prices as I have never bought up a walk up fair on that route.

The line is canny. A bit of everything from urban sprawl, to crossing (sometimes raging) rivers and racing alongside the A69

(09 May 2016, 6:13 pm)Tom wrote Thanks both

I think I will get the train then - the 10:22 one will be too late though as I want to get to Carlisle at a reasonable time to go into the Lakes.

I have been fortunate enough to have never had the latter on the Tyne Valley line. If you are looking to go in to the lakes, the rover that includes bus, ferry and train might be worth looking at.

(09 May 2016, 6:59 pm)Jimmi wrote 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 wrote 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.
