Light Trains

 

Light Trains

                Newcastle light rail is a major attraction for this placid city which runs from Newcastle Interchange in Wickham to Newcastle beach in the east end of Newcastle. It is a great way to explore Newcastle’s city centre with six convenient stops.

 1. Newcastle Interchange

 2. Honeysuckle

 3. Civic

 4. Crown Street

5. Queen Warf and the last one is

6.  Newcastle Beach. It is recently built light rail between Newcastle Interchange and Newcastle Beach. It construction started after the closure of heavy rail route between the Wickham and Newcastle station in 2014 which took about 1.5 years in completing it and credited the second light rail line after Sydney.

                This battery operated train route runs through Central Business District popularly called (CBD) area which is a business hub of Newcastle on Hunter Street without any overhead wires. It runs from George Street in the west to Macquarie Street in the east. The street was originally named Bell Street later it is named after Governor Hunter, the second Governor of New South Wales. There are many things named after Hunter such as Hunter Street, Hunter hospital, Hunter valley which is very calm and quiet place with many vineyard and cultivation of grapes spread over vast area is about 60 kms away from Newcastle etc. Once I had the opportunity to visit the Hunter valley courtesy Sunny.

                Hunter Street is a major road in the Newcastle Central Business district in South Wales. This street formerly had three separate thoroughfares extends from Pacific Street in the city’s east to Selma Street in Newcastle West and  it is focused on community led creative activities. There are shopping Malls, retailer’s shops, eateries joints, amusement parks with always bubbling with activities. Newcastle University and Central Library are also there on Hunter Street. One just has to cross the street and enjoy the activities on the sea beach which is just stone throw away.

                The largest shopping and entertainment mall is Charlestown Square in this Hunter region with over 240 specialty stores including Apple, City Beach, Rebel port, Strike Bowling Bar etc. Charlestown Square has something for everyone.
