OOTT X - Transport
The OOTT bus
The easiest way to get to and from the festival from Newcastle is to take the ‘Out of the Trees Bus’ (this year provided by the friendly folk at Travelsure).
Bus leaves Bewick Street (just up from Newcastle Central Station) at 12.00pm (arrive approx: 1.00pm)
Bus returns from Warkworth Market Place at 11.30pm (arrive approx: 12.30am)
A return ticket for the bus + entry to all venues is £15 (available from RPM)
We actually run the OOTT bus at a loss in order to get as many lovely punters to and from our gig in a safe and fairly orderly fashion. The added bonus for the punters is they get to have as much or as little to drink as they like, and experience the camaraderie of the OOTT crowd. We're actually a little sad we never get to ride on it ourselves...
