Newcastle train info
 
I will be taking the train from Edinburgh to Newcastle in May.

Could someone tell me which station in Newcastle I need? The website https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.com/ lists several and it's pretty much Greek to me . . .

Choices:
Newcastle (NCL)
Newcastle Metro Citycentre
Newcastle Tyne & Wear Metro

I am going to the Grey Street Hotel - on Grey Street. :)

You want Newcastle (NCL) = Newcastle station

The others include through travel onto the metro.

Newcastle is often overlooked by travellers rushing between the honeypots of York and Edinburgh

Grey Street is one of the finest streets In England

and if you're wondering what to see there's more info here https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.co...-to-newcastle/

Thank you so much! Train ticket purchase ready when the website lets me do it. :)

And thanks for the info about Newcastle. I am going there to see a show but will have a bit of spare time to roam Grey Street at the very least.
