On a typical match day, we travel the previous day to our overnight hotel, the team will often fly to away games and are met by our coach on arrival. On match days we transfer the kit to the stadium first and all is prepared in the dressing room before we transfer the team to the game. If the team are flying home all their meals are prepared by chef’s on board and ready to serve on the transfer to the airport , sometimes only giving us 30 minutes to serve a squad of around 30. 

Managing director Andy Sinclair commented, ‘This is a very exciting time for us and we are proud to welcome Newcastle United on board. In an uncertain financial world for us to have secured long term contracts, gives us the confidence to keep investing in quality coaches, costing in excess of £400,000.00 each,  offers an extra part to a successful business. I hope the investment will benefit both our corporate clients and thousands of holiday passengers we carry through out the year. Whether it is a multi million pound sports star arriving for a game or a holiday passenger travelling to the UK or Europe they can be safe in the knowledge that the service and quality they will receive will be second to none.

The office of Tynedale Group Travel celebrates this week as news broke that one of its oldest and largest clients has been named a top U.S College for Study Abroad in the U.S. News & World Report 2010 Rankings.
Tynedale has worked with Lee University in Tennessee for over 10 years, providing study tours for the university throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe. These study tours cover programmes from 10 days to 3 months and generate around 7 months work a year for the Tynedale travel company.
Tynedale’s managing director Andy Sinclair added, “What started as a small client many years ago has grown into an extension of our office and family. Hundred’s of Lee students have enjoyed staying with host families in the Tyne Valley over the years, and many return as friends and tourists years after graduating from Lee. This is a side of our business that many people do not know exists.” 
We are extremely proud to be associated with such a wonderful progressive institution in the United States. In a country where over 70% of citizens do not have a passport, Lee had the foresight many years ago to make participation in a foreign study programme a requirement before graduation, with 100% participation last year.
Programmes are already being confirmed for 2010 and include the UK, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, France, Hungary, Germany and Spain. Andy Sinclair notes that “working with students from Lee has been a major part of our lives and I’m looking forward to spending another week in the office in Tennessee in October finalising 2010, and enjoying the fall colours in a wonderful part of the world.”
“Tynedale Group is our preferred service provider in Great Britain and Europe,” says Matthew Melton, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Lee and supervisor of the university’s study abroad initiative. “Even though we saddle Andy with a mountain of detailed requests and itineraries for literally hundreds of students every year, not one person goes wanting or feels disappointed by their experience. Andy and Tynedale have become a vital part of what we do. They’re like family.”

We are delighted to announce a new client to our sporting team portfolio, after the signing of a contract with Newcastle Falcons Rugby Club for the 2009 / 2010 season. Transport will be provided for all their Guinness Premiership away games as well as airport transfers for their European games.
We are delighted to welcome the Falcons on board and wish them well for the forthcoming season.

We are delighted to announce that after our first season working together, a new agreement has been signed for TGT to supply team coaches for all of Carlisle United F.C  first team and reserves fixtures for a further two seasons.  Travel will be provided using a 32 seat Van Hool team coach carrying the clubs own number plate C1 UFC, and facilities on board will include SKY TV, full kitchen gallery with ovens, microwave, fridges and drinks.
