Taxi or Train from Newcastle to London?
LNER runs from Newcastle to King’s Cross. The train is usually cheaper for one person travelling light. A taxi makes more sense for families and groups, for heavy luggage, for early or late journeys, and when you are going to an address rather than a station, because the fare covers the whole car and takes you to the door.
Going to an Airport Instead?
If you are flying, you can go straight to the airport rather than into central London:
| From Newcastle | Miles | Saloon | MPV (up to 5) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heathrow | 284 | £468 | £655 |
| Gatwick | 321 | £527 | £735 |
