Hey I was wondering if there are any coach sort of trips that go from Newcastle up to places like Glenshee?
Id love to go on one but dont know if they even exist. The reason i prefere to go to scotland is because i have M.E and i can only do 2 days of skiing before i get to tired and have to go home.

Hi there
What to do is go to Glencoe or Aviemore
For Glencoe
Get the train from Newcastle on a friday after 3pm and get to Crianlarich at 8pm. The Crianlarich hotel is 100m from the train and runs a bus shutle to Glencoe.
No train back on a sunday according to the trianline but that site is often wrong.
Or go to Aviemore by Train from Friday to sunday.
Aviemore is probably best for a weekend since you can leave at various times on a sunday.
cheers
Bob

Any chance you can give me the name of the hotel that does the shuttle bus? It sounds PERFECT for me.

£25 a night is a very good price ! also "Ski passes are available to purchase at the hotel to avoid any queuing at the resort." WOW ! NICE !
So for a train return £150 + 2 days lift passes £50 + food £50 + £50 hotel = £300 for a STRESS FREE weekend,,, love it thanks so much for sharing this with me.
Edit : Can you give me any information about the coach to and from the hotel, like times or journey duration?

Why don't you e mail the hotel to ask?
I wonder whether you might not be able to get a cheaper train fare if you booked in advance? 150 quid seems quite steep even by British train standards...

What's the bus service like for skiers between Aviemore and Cairngorm? I've seen the bus timetable - but can you reasonably expect to squeeze on with your skis most of the time? I am thinking of making a visit by train next season when conditions look good.

Scottish trains are modern and comfortable
YMMV with the local bus particularly on a Sunday. Hitchhike up the Glenmore road!

What to do is have a look at split ticketing.
For example 10th december
Newcastle to Glasgow on 7.41 train £9.35 Arr Glasgow central 10.30
Newcastle to Glasgow on 8.41 train £16 Arr Glasgow central 11.30
Have some food in nearby pub.
Train from Glasgow 12.21 to Crianlarich arr 14.09 £21 return
Come back on Monday 13th 13.36 then get train to Newcastle at 18.30 for £9.35
Total cost £39.70
Or for Aviemore.
Newcastle to Aviemore is the best fare direct from east coast. 2 singles 06.25 or 7.41 train up £22.70 Grab afternoon on slopes
Back on Sunday (after a day skiing) on 16.55 train via edinburgh. for £22.70.
£45.40 for the train in total. to Aviemore.

You know it makes sense.

Oh wow thanks, its only 20 minutes drive from aviemore train station to get to cairngorms ski area.
Which bus company or coach company do you use to get there? from aviemore.
Edit : WOW have been looking around at trains and found a DIRECT train from newcastle all the way to aviemore for only £15 ! its unbelievable lol,, it costs me doubble that to go to leeds and thats only 1hr and a half away lol !

regarding hotels in aviemore with a bus shuttle service, I don't know of any offering that service, I normally stay outside of town.
Its a good price, but I'd prefer to be in Fort Bill not been to glencoe yet, if they have a really good few days I'll get on the train.
