Forward a few weeks, and here in the North-east England are playing Australia at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland. It's a 7.45 KO, so the match should finish around 9.40pm. Tyne & Wear Metro are providing extra services to Newcastle to cater for the extra demand.
Northern Rail in their wisdom are running a normal service, which means the last train from Sunderland to Hartlepool, Middlesbrough is 21.38.
So to add to the Teesside Airport Airshow tomorrow, we can now add tonight fiasco to the list...
