Get in
Lumo train runs twice Su-F and once Sa from London King's Cross, taking 3 hr 15 min via Newcastle, and continuing to Edinburgh. It's been much hyped, but see Edinburgh for the reality check.

Arriva Bus X15 runs hourly from Newcastle Haymarket, taking 30 min via Gosforth and continuing north to Alnwick; alternate buses there go on up the A1 to Beal (for Lindisfarne), Scremerston and Berwick-upon-Tweed.

By road follow A1, which bypasses the town to the west.
