'The traffic in the city centre can be a nightmare and so is parking. My recommendation for fans travelling from the South is to head for Heworth, which is near Gateshead adjacent to the A184. It has a Metro Station and a long term car park where you can leave your car for a cost of £1.10. You can then catch the metro direct to the stadium at a cost of £2-40 return. That's me sorted, just need the tickets now! (Courtesy of 'The Football Ground Guide') (Y)
