Left Luggage Room is lovely, good atmosphere. I recently ordered my trip for Newcastle and Whitley Bay for the upcoming summer. I do have plans to pay LLR a visit for a pint 😊

Hi mate, thanks for watching appreciated - it is quite nice up this way, weather dependant of course!?

Enjoyed this. The long shots really give atmosphere and let us savour moments. Some of the Metro stations you show are impressive, and Darlington is a star.
