My 2 year old asked to find a video of the metro on TH-cam, we found this and both really enjoyed watching it! You’re presenting is excellent and learnt so much about my local area that I wouldn’t normally bother looking into otherwise 😊
Greetings from Ireland, thank you for your video which I enjoyed very much. I like to visit Newcastle and the general area as I have an interest in the history of the Jarrow Crusade. I always make sure to visit Whitley Bay as well and have a walk on the sands and a pint uptown! I find the people very friendly and hospitable. Hope to be back late Sept/early Oct now that lockdown restrictions are easing.
**YASSS! A NEW UPLOAD ON THIS CHANNEL🙌👏** Really enjoyed this vid, as do ALL of yours. Signed one of your dedicated & diehard fans. From here in Canada 🇨🇦
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures You'll ALWAYS be most welcome! I also enjoy your Theme Park channel too. Give my best to Charlotte. I think you both are lovely 🤲🙋♀️🇨🇦
Loved this video 📹 Happy memories We had Caravan on the park there Lovely Shops And lots more to see In Whitley Bay And Seeing St Mary's Lighthouse again was a Dream seeing 5hat again Thankyou For Sharing this x
Great video Shaun, nice to see my home city and surrounding area on TH-cam, my advice if you want to take in more of the metro system would have been to get off at Whitley bay get back on at monkseaton and get back off at North Shields, then get the ferry (as part of your day saver ticket) over to South Shields and head back into Newcastle from South Shields metro. Reading other comments though - Beamish and holy island are great shouts to visit, and it is a great shame you didn't get to walk over to the lighthouse
Excellent video Shawn Spent a lot of my youth at the Spanish City The corkscrew that used to be there was my first coaster credit If you get the chance do the main line from Newcastle to Berwick amazing views
My Home town ! Excellent stuff. You should (if you have not already) go further 45 minute drive North and visit the castles of Alnwick, Bamburgh, Dunstanburg and of course visit Holy Island -Lindisfarne.
Did you know the Spanish City used to have a Vekoma corkscrew that was identical to the one that used to be at Alton Towers! I believe the one at Spanish City moved to Flamingo Land In the 80’s and I’m not sure where it ended up after that
Going round the Wallsend Percy main route I’m shocked you haven’t been jumped. Great video, lovely to see you visit my home town. If you’re ever back up here I’d recommend giving tynemouth a go. Lovely on a summers day.
Great video If you want some more amazing views you should go to The isle of Wight and ride on the Needles Breezer from Alum bay along the cliff road to the Battery which is a bus only road.
Best beach in the uk cullercoats, safe for kids, and so much fun with the rocks the otherside, and the 2 peirs. great memeories of that place packed out, fooling around in the rockpools waiting for the tide to come in.
i really enjoy ADVENTURESHAWN as much as THEMEPARK WORLDWIDE ! your vlogs here are so tastefully done ! so many great places you've taken me too ! being from USA i would of never had the chace to see all the cool places on your vlogs! the soundtracks you add here adds to the magic of this channel! thanks so much!! keep the vlogs comin! 2 thumbs up!!!
Visit saint Michel's mount in Cornwall Penzance best views up in castle amazing cafe as tow with A path through the sea to a island jam packed with a tonne of things to do its really good
This is so weird I watch all the TPW videos and suddenly i find this channel, and the last video was about Whitley Bay right next to where I live, what a coincidence
hi Shaun. I recommend you visit the wonderful city of Lille in Northern France. It is easily accessible from central London. I know how you love metro systems and Lille has a very cool and cute system. The city is also full of culture and history. Also contains some wonderful French architecture. If you are to visit the brilliant Belgian and French theme parks, Lille is a great city to stay within as it is nestled between the fabulous two countries. i hope you take this location into consideration after the awful Covid 19 pandemic is over and done with. I am loving your videos on TPW and can see great potential for this channel aswell.
looks like you experienced a classic newcastle local activity known as the "metro mission" aka going around on the metro all day when there is nothing better to do
2 metro fun facts. Monument metro station is one of the only metro stations in the world where the same line passes through it twice and the signs at Wallsend metro station are in english and latin since it is right next to the old roman fort segedunum.
That’s an odd train design. Never seen anything like that with the front window seat other than on driverless systems. Really cool feature, though I imagine probably not too great for the driver. Shame you didn‘t get to try out the Hamburg metro back when you visited miniature wonderland. It‘s got the most scenic line on any metro in the world imo. Love AdventureShawn so far, right up my alley.
I love your videos! They are especially nice as we are all stuck at home during this pandemic. I can't seem to find your video from Dubai at the tallest bldg. How do I find it? There are so many...Thank you!
I'm very surprised it was running 😂😂 it's a great service when it runs but the train's are so old hopefully will be better when new train's are brought out 😁
Great video! Good to see your exploration of quite nearby to me! The only thing I wasn’t keen on was the music used that was in and out between clips, kind of ruined it for me, nonetheless a great video and cheeky reference to TPW 😂
Just FYI there is another metro line that goes all the way from Newcastle Airport through Newcastle and then onto Sunderland which is where I am from :)
I’m actually going to Whitley bay next week. Travelling from Manchester to Newcastle, but wandering how far the metro is from the train station so we can catch the metro to Whitley bay.
The Metro station is actually directly underneath the main train station at Newcastle and there are signs showing the entrance. You'll enjoy Whitley Bay, it's my home town. Get off at the Whitley bay Metro station to get to the town centre, but if you are heading to the lighthouse and the north end of the beach, better and shorter to get off the metro at Monkseaton station
@@brianmorrison9168 I love to visit the area and I travel over from Ireland once a year. I have an interest in the history of the Jarrow Crusade and like to visit Whitley Bay for a walk on the beach as well. As a matter of interest, how far is it to walk from Monkseaton station to the North end of the beach ? I hope to get over again soon, now that Covid restrictions are easing and would love to visit the Lighthouse.
@@tomoconnorwex Hi, probably about 2 miles ... just a little bit shorter than it would be from W/Bay station. Which part of ireland are you from .. I used to live in Holywood, near Belfast I've done a few videos too, many showing Metro journeys in the area and I also did ane showing the Jarrow Crusade statue. There's another showing the Stan Laurel statue, in North Shields
@@brianmorrison9168 Hi Brian, many thanks for the quick reply. I did the walk over and back from the W/Bay station once and found it just a bit too long. I do recall having a cup of tea and a pastry at a really nice old style coffee shop on the walk by the beach. Although, I have no connection to the area whatsoever, I have come to love the place, especially places along the Metro line and find the Geordies ever so kind and friendly. I'm from the ROI but know Belfast well and travelled up a lot to Queens University and Malone Road area over the years. I visited the Museum at South Shields to do some research on the Crusade but I found that most of the material seems to be at Jarrow Town Hall , which I hope to visit next time. I shall have a look for your vids and view them later if they're still online. Tx again!
AdventureShawn it’s just old now the whole system but for a lot of years very reliable quick good value but they are going to upgrade the whole thing carriages they lot
Didnt corkscrew that ended up in alton towers used to be at the spanish city? I remember the Cyclone rler coaster there. I used to wanna go on tbat so bad for years (my grandlarents kived in whitley bay). But my parents were too friggin tight. Finally went on it, and if riding alone they used to use a sandbag to keep the weight even.
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures i wont doubt your knowledge! but im sure another big theme park got it.. ima have to google reak quick.... Flamingo land! th-cam.com/video/ZzgMHBuw2e0/w-d-xo.html
The red roofed building on St Mary's island, is a private residence, god knows how they manage to get to work, school etc when the tides close the causeway
Great video Shawn! Very nice to see my home region from a visitor's perspective. You should come back in the summer when the weather's a bit nicer. The North East coastline is gorgeous in the summer!

It is I’m bias because I live here but Tynemouth longsands beach is one of the best beaches in the country
It sure is a nice area!

Whitley Bay. I spent a lot of my childhood there. I'm in my fifties and I'm buying a bike to ride there once a twice a week this summer.
Loved this video 📹 Happy memories We had Caravan on the park there

Thankyou so much for going here me and my hubby love Newcastle and we visit there when we go and have a ice cream 🍦 lovely scenery
Excellent video Shawn
Spent a lot of my youth at the Spanish City
The corkscrew that used to be there was my first coaster credit
If you get the chance do the main line from Newcastle to Berwick amazing views
I went on the metro back in June 2017 its brilliant, I love the fact you have so many interests Shawn.
Whitley bay was a fantastic place to come to I worked in the Spanish city I always remember the Scottish week

It went to flamingo land in 1990. It was at Spanish city from 1983 to 1989
Thanks for the information!
It’s in the south of France now
Great video Shawn, we love how much you enjoyed our home :)
Thanks Mark!
Great video brought back a few memories. The island is worth visiting as you can climb to the top of the lighthouse and grab a coffee from the cafe.
You could / should visit the Holy Island / Lindisfarne. If you like stunning views that is the place to go.
Thanks for your suggestion Ben
Whitley Bay - a wonderful place to be raised. I always have an annual pilgrimage in the summertime.
It’s a great place!
Glad you had a fantastic trip! Great video!
Thank you!

Whitley bay was always amazing
Great video
If you want some more amazing views you should go to The isle of Wight and ride on the Needles Breezer from Alum bay along the cliff road to the Battery which is a bus only road.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Love that route - it's right on the cliff edge!
I live in Cullercoats 5 mins from whitley bay used to live whitley bay really close to the metro
Good video Shawn love it by the lighthouse
Best beach in the uk cullercoats, safe for kids, and so much fun with the rocks the otherside, and the 2 peirs. great memeories of that place packed out, fooling around in the rockpools waiting for the tide to come in.
Great video
Nice to see my home town of Whitley Bay.
Thanks for watching. You live in a lovely area!
What a shame you couldn’t go up lighthouse. Defo a video for the future. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Remember going over the path to the lighthouse little did we know the tide was comeing in we were stuck over there for hours

I love your vids mate and i also love themepark worldwide
Thank you
Really enjoy these videos Shawn, wish you did more like them...
More on the way!
I read somewhere once the corkscrew at flamingoland came from spanish city?
I believe it did!
1:46 the bridge next to the metro is the East Coast Mainline
2 metro fun facts. Monument metro station is one of the only metro stations in the world where the same line passes through it twice and the signs at Wallsend metro station are in english and latin since it is right next to the old roman fort segedunum.
Thanks for the information, love this!
I literally used to live opposite Spanish city. 14 Elmwood Grove. NE261LU. Whitley bay
No problems with the trains breaking down too!
You should do the bus tour around the monuments of Newcastle
So do I. Just across from the Co op

F T the are going to change the trains very soon to a more modern design. I rode on the Metro on the first day it opened
Thank you!
Great stuff buddy, Whitley Bay looks lovely
It sure is a very nice area
Where do you take the metro from and to? For Newcastle to Whitley bay?

Anyone else got Dire Straits' 'Tunnel of Love' playing in their head?
You can see me driving past when you're next to the Spanish city 🤙😂
Love this! Thanks for watching
Please do come back to Newcastle! There are still so many hidden gems you missed out.
I plan to!

The metro cube behind you is a limited edition one for this year as its metros 40th
Thanks for the info!
The metros class when it’s running 😂😂😂
I've heard it can be rather unreliable sometimes!
AdventureShawn it’s just old now the whole system but for a lot of years very reliable quick good value but they are going to upgrade the whole thing carriages they lot
I suggest you watch Geoff Marshall’s video on the secrets on the Tyne and wear Metro
I love Whitby
5:30 the monument in the front is actually where they lay reefs for Remembrance Day
Didnt corkscrew that ended up in alton towers used to be at the spanish city?

I’v been to metro i long time ago
Are you gonna visit California or Las Vegas
Love Newcastle I do my home
What a lad...
Oh yes!
Hi....I'm from Lampung Indonesia
Howay the lads
You should visit the nearby Beamish Museum, really interesting place for transport and local history. Would make a good video for the channel!
Great suggestion!
I live in Whitley Bay
The question we all want to know is, did you see Ant & Dec?
Not this time sadly!
no as someone who lives there i have never seen them sadly
i live in whitley bay
Should do one on South Shields?
Thanks for your suggestion!
Great video Shawn! Very nice to see my home region from a visitor's perspective. You should come back in the summer when the weather's a bit nicer. The North East coastline is gorgeous in the summer!
There used to be Spanish city
what do you used there still is
So happy you loved my home town. You should go up into Northumberland sometime: Hadrians Wall, Holy Island, Alnwick Castle to name a few!
The new rolling stock built by Stadler Rail that should be arriving by 2024 won't have that view out of the front, unfortunately.
👍☺👍.
Has the Corona Virus outbreak caused you to change / rethink any of your travel plans for 2020?
Not at the moment, however I'm closely following developments
newcastle is not the only place in the northeast,if your going to start your video have the decency to start at st mary's island mate ok.
We’ll start our videos where we want to!
Can you do central to Gateshead it’s fantastic
I may do in the future!
Imagine being happy about visiting Whitley 🤣 I'm so sick of it
Specially not the metro. Worst transportation in the uk. And really expensive
I enjoyed it, however I don't use it on a regular basis!
Did u get a fishy in a dishy when the boat came in?
i dont think it is ranked reasonably high on a lot of online lists do you just hate the north east or smth?
