And now Newcastle United supporters could face further travel complications with strike action planned on the London Underground on Friday and Saturday.
Due to Storm Eunice, Train operator LNER issued the following statement: “Storm Eunice is expected to bring severe weather conditions across the UK on Friday 18 February. Please do not travel on Friday 18 February."
Supporters who purchased tickets to travel on Friday were able to use their tickets on Thursday evening or can use them Saturday morning.
News of the underground strike will also make travel to the game tricky.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) on London Underground’s Night Tube will be striking overnight, from 7pm to 6am on the Central and Victoria lines every Friday and Saturday until mid-June in a deadlocked dispute over shifts, Wales Online reports.
Although it is unlikely this will affect those traveling to the match itself, supporters staying in the city over the weekend or heading back to Newcastle on Saturday night could be affected.
Transport for London (TfL) said that since changes to rosters were implemented, they have been a positive change for the organisation and staff, helping to make it a fairer place to work and bringing back the Night Tube.
TfL said it had been running a good Night Tube service on previous strike days.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The common thread that runs through these three disputes is a refusal by RMT members to accept that the employer can hammer down on pay, safety, jobs and working conditions at will.
“They are about the defence of livelihoods, working conditions, safety and agreements that the management side are seeking to rip apart regardless of the implications for both staff and passengers.
“The other common thread is the abject failure to engage in serious talks. RMT stands ready for genuine negotiations on all fronts but in the meantime, our action goes ahead exactly as planned."
The industrial action on the Tube is one of three separate strikes by the RMT taking place across the country this weekend over issues including pay and rosters.
RMT members working as conductors on the TransPennine Express (TPE) will walk out for 24 hours on Sunday over pay, which will lead to a number of services being disrupted.
Train managers and senior conductors on CrossCountry will be striking on Saturday in a long-running battle over jobs and safety.
