Advice From A Roving Artist

Right.

So how do I get from Newcastle to Sunderland at 2.23am on an April morning?
I'm going to see Black Wire in Leeds, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.  And I DON'T miss the last train from Leeds, and I change at York so I get first class at least some of the way back.  However, getting into Newcastle three hours after the last metro to Sunderland has left and approximately three and a bit hours before the first one leaves, leaves me in a bit of a dilemma.
Unlike some (AMY) I would NEVER ask my parents to pick me up from even the end of my street at that time of the morning.  I mean, for one, it's a weekday so they'll be at work in the morning.  I wouldn't ask them to pick me up in Leeds, same reason.  I can't afford a Travelodge or anything like that (don't be silly now) and I categorically refuse to sleep in the station.  I don't think the people on the door at Warehouse would take too kindly to me bringing a sleeping bag in.  I doubt I could afford a taxi and I doubt how far they'd go.

I'm screwed, aren't I?  I think the taxi is my best bet at the moment.  And I'd have to save up like hell just for that…and I fancy a Black Wire t-shirt.
Oh shit, oh shit, I am screwed, parents aren't going to let me go to Leeds, I can't go in Newcastle, I haven't seen Black Wire since last June…oh shit….AND I REALLY WANT TO GO!
This isn't fair.  It's not.  I know the metro runs past residental areas, drivers might not want to do night shifts, blah blah blah…still, why can't they run through the night?

  2. It’s at Digital/The Other Rooms, one of the two, and obviously they’re both over 18…I’m only a few months off but I don’t really want to risk it.

  4. THERE! Ta for that.
