Newcastle-Upon???

I was checking out some cruise ship images and came across this web page http://www.london-transfers.co.uk/…/…/newcastle-port-of-tyne
It would be interesting to see the taxi fare from that cruise ship at Newcastle to London.
I at first thought "No wonder Newcastle in Australia is named after Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Apart from them both having local coal mining, the picture of Tynemouth looks just like the entrance to Newcastle Harbour - even down to Nobby's Head, Stockton Beach, The Hunter River and the Stockton Bridge."
And for good reason - the picture shows a cruise ship (I believe P&O's Pacific Pearl) leaving Newcastle Harbour in Australia!
You may or may not agree, but I think web designer should be "transported to the colony of New South Wales for seven years" for his or her transgression. But actually, I'm sure they would like to experience the weather and sights of the antipodean Newcastle.
Now what would that taxi fare to London be?
London to Newcastle taxi service, port to airport transfer
