8 or 78 to Stanley
X43 to Metrocentre
Train to Newcastle (or to Blaydon if you're lucky - then a bus from Blaydon to Newcastle Central Station)
Metro to Whitley Bay
308 or 309 to Blyth
1 to Ashington
X21 or X22 to Regent Centre
Metro to Kingston Park
X47 to Newcastle
21 or X25 to Chester
Thanks for the suggestion. But, I've often found my days work most successfully if I have no set plan other than a few connections to start with.
