Mike Parcej, a friend of Newcastle Racecourse and passionate horse racing fan, said this about travelling to us:
"Easy to get to from London and the South West and Midlands by train. The bus services are relentless seven days a week! The X15, X22, X21, X11, 43 and 44 services all run from Haymarket bus station, and the X18 from Eldon Square bus station. The landmark to look out for on the old A1 is when the bus leaves the dual carriageway and crosses over it on a bridge from left to right. It's the next bus stop after the crossing. Enjoy!"
