Anybody travelling to Newcastle should take the bus. With delays on the Metro and severe flooding in most stations it will be your safest solution. Like I said beforehand please take care in your journeys.


The only issue is, Nexus are cancelling some major bus routes because of flooding. For instance, the coast road is completely blocked off.

Its a shame this couldn't be postponed. By some of the things I'm seeing on facebook, its scary!

I think cycling might be the way forward.

If the coast road is blocked off that really puts my options to get into town off, Its due to stop at 9pm the rain so its still possible for me to get up, CCP need to keep us updated.

I know, I have concerns about people actually arriving there tonight. It's too late to post-pone as people have already began their trips from afar I imagine.

There will be some buses otherwise people will find themselves stranded but there are a lot of traffic problems due to the flooding.

I'm currently watching North-East tonight and seeing that Eldon Square and the Metrocentre have been evacuated so I hope there won't be further problems as the storm has moved further towards Sunderland.

If you are in a Spaceship travelling at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?

I'm in Blakelaw right now, the weather seems to have died down/at least we're through the worst of it.

Can someone from CCP confirm this event is still on? Isn't that courtyard at the black swan flooded?!

Its time like these I wish I bought a 4x4.

But even then, the roads are grid locked.

Just for relevance; the coast road grid lock near my house: The choas!

The coast road is flooded up to the corner house so its side streets for now!

if anyone is coming from the south via train you'll be turned around at Darlington. They won't out any buses on either.

Update from nexus:

Rain is causing disruption as follows:
Metro is completely suspended as a result of flooding and debris on lines in several parts of the system. Tickets are being accepted on all local buses, but these are subject to severe delays due to road conditions. Only travel if your journey is absolutely necessary. We apologise for the inconveinence caused.

Meeting CCP devs is necessary!

Anyone from Wallsend/Shields planning on going via coast road, you will need to find another way, im thinking of going up and around longbenton way

Just spoke to taxi rank (station Taxis)and they said roads were closed. I then checked on line and could not see any warnings so called back, they said A19 is open now nut Felling bypass is open 'with caution'. So taxi is on its way. Unless it rains again it should be fine.

The top road through longbenton is your best bet, thats the way I'll be going.

Now theres just parking
