Trip to Newcastle June 6th 2007.
7th June 2007

On June 6th 2007 Rail-Arena visited Newcastle/Gateshead on a Bus/Rail hunt.Unfortunatly not everything went by the book,due to an overhead line fault at the ECML preventing a visit to the NRM's Shildon Museum.

Otherwise a good day was had.This is a feaseablility feature for UK photos and if it works out more UK photos will be added in the coming weeks in addition to our Irish Features.

Visit our sister site Bus-Arena to see photos from the bus hunt in our RH Bargain Bus feature from Friday June 8th 2007.
