RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 09 Jan 2014 (09 Jan 2014, 7:49 pm)idiot Point taken. The question was more around whether it was infrastructure fault, or rolling stock. I hadn't read the notification by T&W Metro so was unsure either way. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 12 Jan 2014 Tyne and Wear Metro There are minor delays to trains running between South Shields and St James due to a technical fault. Please leave extra time for your journey. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 20 Jan 2014 Radio Newcastle have picked up on the latest petition for the Metro, interviewing the guy who organised it and Shazza too. There phone/tweet in this morning is: Where would you like to see the Metro extended to? RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 22 Jan 2014 There's been a lot of talk lately about the petition to bring the Tyne and Wear Metro to Washington, but at the same time, not a lot has been said about the 'Save Our Metro' petition - it's now 5 signatures away from 1,000. Petition link: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/vote-of-no-confidence-in-nexus-and-twita They're also on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/savemetrocampaign Latest email I received: From: Simon Laing via Campaigns by You [mailto:campaignsbyyou@38degrees.org.uk] RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 22 Jan 2014 4034 (and another refurbished Metrocar) taken out of service because a fault developed. Chucked us all off at Heworth. Hundreds of passengers then gathered on the platform, with an old woman sticking her arms out to move everyone out of the way when she was alighting the next South Hylton bound Metro (4039). I say 'What was that for?' when she whacks me one, and an arrogant twat then sticks up for her and says we shouldn't have tried to get on the Metro before all passengers had alighted. We must be able to see through bodies these days! RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 23 Jan 2014 ''Trains are operating to all destinations subject to major delays due to a track fault at Jesmond Updated at 06:48, Thursday, 23 January 2014'' RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 23 Jan 2014 Shock. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 23 Jan 2014 (23 Jan 2014, 7:43 am)Tom ''Trains are operating to all destinations subject to major delays due to a track fault at Jesmond Tyne and Wear Metro Trains are operating to all destinations subject to delays due to a track fault at Jesmond 2 minutes ago from their FB page...still broken... i feel sorry for the people who use the metro. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 23 Jan 2014 @HuwLewisNexus is currently tweeting live news from the ITA meeting. Haven't seen any mention of how the ITA members work out it is hip to be square or if the fella with the headache has been asked if he wants to try a new drug. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 23 Jan 2014 (23 Jan 2014, 10:44 am)andreos1 @HuwLewisNexus is currently tweeting live news from the ITA meeting. He did add this: Huw Lewis @HuwLewisNexus 7h Healthy fare revenue and passenger numbers mean that NO local council money goes into subsidising Metro, councillors on ITA are told. Kind of blows Stagecoach's propaganda out of the window, unless they fancy looking at the murky waters of accusing the ITA of false accounting? RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DanPicken - 25 Jan 2014 brockley whins p1 map is green south shields - airport yellow south hylton - st james RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 27 Jan 2014 Nexus have slapped a 500k fine on DB Regio for failing to meet punctuality targets. Heard it on local news earlier on. Re: RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 27 Jan 2014 (27 Jan 2014, 2:01 pm)andreos1 Nexus have slapped a 500k fine on DB Regio for failing to meet punctuality targets. Wonder if they'll now admit that public-private partnership has completely failed for Metro. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 27 Jan 2014 (27 Jan 2014, 2:37 pm)aureolin Wonder if they'll now admit that public-private partnership has completely failed for Metro. Hopefully! Saying that, if Nexus are saving money by not operating the trains, being paid money to operate the system by DB and receiving money in the form of fines, will they admit it isn't working? RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 27 Jan 2014 At this time of day, blocking off 7 seats... RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 27 Jan 2014 (27 Jan 2014, 4:54 pm)Dan At this time of day, blocking off 7 seats... Never seen one of those before. What does the black text say? RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - BJ10VUS - 27 Jan 2014 (27 Jan 2014, 6:25 pm)aureolin Never seen one of those before. What does the black text say? Driver under instruction RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 27 Jan 2014 (27 Jan 2014, 7:25 pm)BJ10VUS Driver under instruction Have seen them plenty on mornings and not really cared about it - but a peak time train? That little barrier thing couldn't be seen when the train stopped at Park Lane to let people on! RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Coppercap40 - 02 Feb 2014 Can anyone give me any dates and numbers of units returning from refurbishment please RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 06 Feb 2014 Huw Lewis has more news from the ITA meeting today. Tweeting from his @HuwLewisNexus account, he has mentioned a number of things, including: https://twitter.com/HuwLewisNexus/status/431381760199651328 Which can only be good news. |
