Introduction

This is for a competition that I saw while browsing for the Tyne and Wear Metro. You can enter it here if you are so inclined.

I've included "Fog On The Tyne" by Lindisfarne, because as far as I'm concerned, it's Newcastle's anthem.

From Newcastle Airport South To South Hilton

Or Saint James' Park To South Shields, Go East Young Man

Underground, Overground: Metro Running On

By Earl Grey's Monument, My Last Trip Began

Through Central, Across Queen Elizabeth Bridge

Past Gateshead International Stadium

πŸš‰πŸšƒπŸš‰

Through Pelaw, Hebburn, Past The World Of Bede

To South Shields, Where This Line Ends, By The North Sea

Then Take The Ferry, Cross The Tyne(There's No Bridge!)

πŸš‰πŸšƒπŸš‰

From North Shields To Whitley Bay, Spanish City

Through Tynemouth (It's Very Posh) And Cullercoats

Then Turn West Back Toward Monument For Tea

πŸš‰πŸšƒπŸš‰

Then Change Your Line For The Newcastle Airport

Then Turn Back, Go All The Way To Sunderland

Further To South Hylton, Turn Again, Depart

πŸš‰πŸšƒπŸš‰

Back To Earl Grey's Monument, Always Looks Grand

Metro To Newcastle, 'Tis Our Chosen Land
