    My 2 year old asked to find a video of the metro on RUclips, 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.

    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

    Great video Shaun, nice to see my home city and surrounding area on RUclips, 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

  • @BenG80

    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.

    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.

      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

      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.
