The quayside position of Baltic Place is conveniently close to all points for easy travel. Access to surrounding modern public transport systems is excellent, and the quayside is served by an electric shuttle bus, QuayLink, which runs every 10 minutes, connecting Baltic Place with Central Station, the Metro System, Haymarket and Gateshead Interchange.

 

Road: Gateshead Quays has good access to the A1,
to the Tyne Tunnel and to the A69 running west.

Rail: Newcastle Central Station is on the East Coast
main line (between Edinburgh and London, Kings
Cross). In 2007, Kings Cross / St Pancras became the
terminus of the new, high speed Channel Tunnel
Rail Link to Europe.

Air: Newcastle International Airport is only 20
minutes drive, or around 25 minutes by Metro from
Central Station. Newly expanded, the airport now
provides routes all over Europe and the UK.

Metro: Gateshead and Newcastle share an efficient
Metro system (47 stations), providing links to the
airport, the suburbs, the coast and Sunderland to the
south east.

Quayside shuttle: every 10 mins from outside Baltic
Place. The QuayLink electric bus service links both
the south and north quaysides to connect with
existing bus, metro and train services in Gateshead
and Newcastle.
