Where We Went morning of 8 June 2014: Newcastle to Carlisle by train.

After three big days in the Newcastle/Northumberland region, we hopped on the train at Newcastle and headed east from one side of England to the other, nearly.

We seemed to be following Hadrian's wall, more or less. You can see it in one of the photos I have chosen.

Like most of the rail journeys we took in the UK, this was very comfortable and pleasant, and we were looking forward to the next stage, the Lakes District (to come).
