The second of seven fascinating and thought-provoking films produced by viewers of the Tyne Tees Television news programme North East Tonight which present a range of thoughts, hopes, dreams and fears about moving into a new millennium. In this film written by Michael Gilroy from Wallsend who translates the journey towards the new millennium through various forms of transport all arriving into Newcastle. Described as a sort of rapid Doomsday Book of the region as the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, Michael sees the Northeast as a place that changes so much, but yet remains constant. A montage of four different types of transport all converging on Newcastle featuring passengers in a 1st-class carriage on an Great-North East Railways (GNER) Inter-City 225 passenger train, a car driving along the A1 motorway passing the Angel of the North, an airplane coming into land at Newcastle Airport and a Tyne and Wear Metro train travelling from Gateshead into Newcastle city centre. Including with this montage the dials on a large clock moving towards mid-night. The film begins and ends with the train exiting and entering a tunnel.
