Nexus has unveiled this year’s free Great Days Out guide, showcasing over a hundred places of interest on Tyneside and Wearside that can all be easily accessed by public transport. And for the first time ever every single attraction in the guide can be reached by catching the bus. The guide details 115 places to visit across Tyneside and Wearside along with all the relevant Metro and bus information in order to get there. It is colour coded and is an easy and quick way to discover a wide variety of attractions from north east museums, parks, beaches and art galleries to shops, famous land marks, leisure facilities and great nights out. This is the eighth year that Nexus has published a Great Days Out guide, and with a 120,000 copies expected to be gone by the end of the summer, it is one of Metro’s most popular pieces of literature. When the first Great Days Out guide was launched in the summer of 1999 it was an eight-page leaflet, but now it’s a 51 page, full colour guide book, a change which helps to underline how much the north east has developed as a tourist destination over the last seven years. Communications Director for Nexus, Andy Bairstow, said: “Every year we have to expand our Great Days Out guide, which underlines the region’s transformation into a hugely popular tourist destination. “The guide itself is a great resource of places to visit across Tyneside and Wearside, with all the attractions easily accessed by Metro and buses. The journey itself is part of a day out and our research tells us children in particular love getting travelling by Metro.” The Great Days Out booklets are available from all Nexus Travelshops.
