National Express
Pros: I had four trips, two to Ramsgate from Sunderland and two back. Each one had helpful and very pleasant staff, especially the driver from Ramsgate to London on my way back. He went out of his way to help me get to the right place for the second part of my journey. The journeys were comfortable and spot on time. Very good all round. Cons: I cannot think of anything that would have been better. Tips: Get to the station on time!

City Information

Sunderland

Sunderland, UK - GBEDD-0Sunderland, UK - GBEDD-1Sunderland, UK - GBEDD-2

The city of Sunderland is mainly known for its football team; however, the city is home to a rich history beyond the pitch. The port city was only officially granted city status in 1992, but there are records of settlements in the area as early as the year 674.

Besides its football team, Sunderland's shipbuilding prowess also put it on the map, such that in the 19th century, the city was hailed the “shipbuilding capital of the world.” Many of the shipyards are still visible if you were to take a relaxing stroll along the idyllic river Wear.

As well as ships, Sunderland was also a large producer of glass, and it was the first place in England to produce stained glass windows. The National Glass Centre remains a popular place to visit, with its exhibitions and educational programmes making it a great place to spend a creative afternoon.

Sunderland is easily accessible via train or coach, with National Express, Megabus, and FlixBus providing stops within the city. The Durham Coast Line provides train access from Newcastle and Middlesbrough, among other regional stops around the North East of England. For international travellers heading to Sunderland, the city is conveniently only 27 miles from Newcastle International Airport and 37 miles from Teesside International Airport.
