Newcastle Central Station
Got to the Central Station in good time to catch my train to Northallerton... due to leave at 12.02pm. The station was full of Newcastle United fans heading for London.... with or without tickets for the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley tomorrow.
I sat beside a young lad who was heading for London with no ticket or accommodation.. He only booked his train tickets this morning. He hadn't been to London before. He was meeting friends at King's Cross and they were going to Covent Garden which is where a lot of Newcastle fans were congregating. He was going stay with some of his friends in their hotel room and watch the match somewhere tomorrow. Late train home after the match and back to work at 7am on Monday. What an adventure.
My train arrived at Northallerton at 1.30pm. I was the only person to get off. Next stop was London. Mike met me at the station.
Had fun playing with Astrid while Becky and Mike did some gardening/painting. Mike made spaghetti bognese for the evening meal.
Early start tomorrow as Becky and Mike are going to Darlington for running events. Astrid and me will stay at home. Then later on we will watch the match. Becky and me supporting Newcastle. Mike supporting Liverpool. Hope it's a good game and hope Newcastle can lift the trophy. They haven't won a Cup since1955. Howay The Lads.
