Good luck to everyone taking part in the Great North Run today! Eleanor will be cheering you on... Newcastle station and transport connections are likely to be busier than usual, so please leave extra time for your journey.

I loved seeing this on the big screen on the way to the run at Newcastle high street. Was a lovely thought. Thanks LNER, made my day on the way to the run.

Apologies Jack, we will contact the station and ask that they lock it.
