This is a pic taken coming out of the Metro tunnel in Gateshead, about to cross the Tyne to Newcastle. The bridge is the QE II Metro Bridge.

I didn’t mean to start a week of Tyne crossings (and South to North Tyne crossings at that!). Hmmm. I’ll see what other Tyne crossing pictures I have… although I may already have exhausted my supply.

  1. I would love to see all the bridges with their names.

  2. I agree – lets have shots of EVERY Tyne crossing! I’ll supply one of the Shields Ferry! ;)

  3. grrr cannot find my old picture of Wylam Bridge, but then thought – you daft thing – is Newcastle-Gateshead crossing. And I like Cassandra’s week, which I have just got around to looking at. Catch up day today.

  4. Great idea, Andrew & Dave! I hope beth goes for it!

    Thanks Mrs K!

  5. There is no way I’m going to do EVERY tyne crossing. It’s a very long river :)
    There will be pics of most of them this week though and maybe into next week. I’m quite enjoying it :)

  6. I’ll send you one of the Shields Ferry :-)

  7. Dave – I’ve got your pics now – thank you so much!

  8. You’re welcome!
