It's a little more secure than the surrounding alternative storage locations. The staff at the counter was kind and funny. You have to bring your bags down yourself and see all the other bags, which makes one double think the security of the location.

Great location for airport, with secure storage and free shuttle onwards to the airport. Used this at the end of a cruise when we had a late evening flight. Would definitely use again.

Luggage storage across Gateshead
Gateshead’s two big cultural draws handle bags differently, with a free cloakroom at The Glasshouse and £1 lockers at the Baltic, while the Metro and X66 bus are the practical ways to move between them and the airport or Metrocentre with luggage in tow.
Step-free access is standard across the Metro network, though luggage is best kept beside you rather than left unattended on the system. Gateshead sits on the southern bank of the River Tyne, directly opposite Newcastle.
The borough is also home to the Metrocentre, one of Europe's largest indoor shopping and entertainment complexes. Shoppers' lockers at the Metrocentre can be rented for 2, 4, or 10 hours, but overnight storage is not permitted. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag a day.
Some top Stasher locations in Gateshead include:
Most nearby points cluster around Newcastle Central Station. Local hosts include hotel receptions. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to £10,000. Stasher storage in Gateshead can be booked through the website or app.

Getting to and around Gateshead with luggage
Newcastle International Airport links to the city via the Tyne and Wear Metro, taking around 25 minutes into Newcastle city centre. Nexus, the Metro operator, asks passengers to avoid taking large luggage onto escalators and to use lifts or ramps instead. All Tyne and Wear Metro stations provide step-free access from the street to the platform, though Metrocentre station's lifts have been reported as being out of order.
Metrocentre also has its own train station, a 7-minute ride from Newcastle Central. Metrocentre is a Category A station with step-free access to all platforms. Nexus asks that you never leave luggage unattended anywhere on the Metro system.
The X66 bus service operated by Go North East provides a link between the Metrocentre Coach Park and Gateshead city centre with an 11-minute journey time, and the single adult fare is two pounds.
