BrettNUFC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 How do the newcastle points system get worked out? I've never been knocked back for a ticket but then again i've never applied for a massive fixture such as the mackems away. Had a season ticket for 10 year and go to a few away games each year. Would that warrant enough for brugge, can see a lot of applications being handed in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Bordeaux is quite a hassle to get to from Newcastle, unfortunately. That Ryanair link with Edinburgh isn't always on. Maybe some company will sort something out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 the eurostar doesnt go to newcastle £125 on eurostar from Newcastle. You can buy through tickets from here you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I can get to Brugge for £58 return taking the car on Eurotunnel, hotel from £40. Flights to Bordeaux from Gatwick from £63 return. Hotel from £42. Just need to make sure I get the tickets now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Can't book anything until tomorrow so hopefully prices don't go sky high for Brugge. Bordeaux is awkward to get to from Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Brugge is actually closer to me than Newcastle, might look into going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ferry booked, prices definitely going up already. Booked a cabin of 5 with transfers both ways in Brugge, works out at £80.70 each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Eurostar (from London) to Bruges and 2 nights for £189. Not half bad. Don't fancy my chances of getting a ticket, but we'll see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Reckon I can get the Eurostar from London return and a night in a hotel for about £110 as a 'youth'. Has anyone used this before? I take it you can just jump on any domestic train from Brussels to Bruges? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yep, your ticket should be to 'Any Belgian Station' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcmichael Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 When will the tickets be up for sale, definitely driving down to Brugge... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think the actual Eurostar tickets are specified on certain times. Problem is when I chose 'Any Belgian Station', it still just comes up with Brussels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW1983 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Newcastle to London East Coast £55.60 London to Brussels Eurostar £40.50 Brussels to Brugge £free with Eurostar ticket Brussels to London Eurostar £40.50 London to Newcastle £26.80 That's what I'm looking at, that's returning on the 10th for some "sight seeing" time.

Problem is when I chose 'Any Belgian Station', it still just comes up with Brussels. I'm pretty sure that is becuase it's only the Eurostar service which is specific- the onward journey is valid for any service except the ICE and Thalys services which are other international services. I've just booked a train+hotel package and it comes up with 'Brussels' but the hotel I've booked is in Bruges as part of the same deal, so I'm assuming the website books the trains correctly!
