Wylam is famous as the birthplace of George Stephenson, the railway pioneer — fitting for a village that still has its own station on the Tyne Valley Line. The village hugs the north bank of the Tyne, with tree-lined riverside walks, a popular bridge crossing, and a tight-knit community that keeps the village feeling alive year-round.
Getting around the Tyne valley from Wylam — Prudhoe for shops, Corbridge for dinner, or across to Blaydon and beyond. We’re practically neighbours.
Newcastle Airport is around 20 minutes from Wylam. Pre-book for any time — we handle early morning flights and late-night arrivals. Competitive fares from £23.
Hospital runs are straightforward from Wylam. Freeman Hospital from £19, RVI from £16, QE from £15. We’ll drop you at the door and pick you up when you’re done.
Wylam’s pubs are worth a visit, but if you’re heading further afield — Newcastle, Gateshead, Hexham — we’ll get you there and back. No surge pricing, no matter the hour.

Every Local Taxis booking supports a local driver and their family right here in Wylam. Our drivers live in the communities they serve. They know the backroads, the shortcuts, and which streets flood when it rains. When you choose Local Taxis over a national app or a bus company headquartered 200 miles away, that money stays in Tyne and Wear.
If you've ever used one of the big ride-hailing apps, your driver has probably asked how much you paid. Those faceless algorithms take an ever-growing cut — sometimes 40% or more — while offering no real customer support, no local phone number, and no accountability when things go wrong.
With Local Taxis, your driver keeps a fair share. If there's a problem, you speak to a real person — not a chatbot, not a ticket queue. We're a Tyne and Wear business built by people who live here, for people who live here.
You can only book through our app, but we're always here if you need us. Call us on 0191 462 0060, email info@localgrp.uk, or message us through the app.
Book by app, online, or phone — whichever works best for you. The app gives you an instant estimated fares and live driver tracking, but you can always call us too. We're here 24/7.
