RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 12 Jul 2015
(12 Jul 2015, 7:30 am)danpick Service suspended between Heworth-Jarrow Heworth Brockely Whins Noda taxi are running a shuttle service in the area
Perhaps they shouldn't have cancelled the bus replacement service between Gateshead and those two locations, eh?!
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DanPicken - 12 Jul 2015
There are no trains running between Heworth and Jarrow in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault.
We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 900, calling at or near to all stations between Heworth and Jarrow.
We will update you once we have more information.

Shouldn't the one to Brockley Whins be the 901?

It should but it is Nexus we're on about, any idea who's operating it - assuming it's GNE.

Yes, it was Go North East. Four buses in total - two from Deptford, and two from Chester-le-Street.
A very well-known driver from the latter depot, too...

4039 Next Stop Announcements not working at all (just what I needed this morning - head is battered!)

When is out working on the metro! haha

Certainly isn't working today (although no word on Twitter yet!)
Power outage in East Boldon area apparently resulted in all signals going on red to show danger. Our driver went straight through the signal and the Metro came to an immediate halt after one full carriage and part of the back carriage went past the signal. Whiplash claim?
Been stuck just before East Boldon for 20 minutes. Not what you need when you don't feel too well to begin with!

My parents were stuck at East Boldon for 45 mins.

(15 Jul 2015, 7:06 pm)danpick My parents were stuck at East Boldon for 45 mins.
I was stuck between Seaburn and East Boldon for 30 minutes, although the driver went slow all the way to Pelaw, meaning that I was on the Metro for an hour opposed to 20-odd minutes.
You understand I was not best pleased...

Should have came in on time then you would not have been stuck for an hour

There's no "on-time" - just a "normal time"...
I will be spitting in your cup of tea if you're not careful! I get ratty when I don't feel well, Mr. 5284... You know that better than most on this forum!
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - citaro5284 - 18 Jul 2015
Due to a Police incident, no trains between Monkseaton and Tynemouth....GNE accepting tickets on services between North Shields and Whitley Bay
EDIT: DB Regio now requesting Metro Replacement buses as well.
EDIT2: A person was killed after been hit by a Metro around Cullercoats.

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DanPicken - 21 Jul 2015
No trains between South Gosforth and Airport due to a technical fault. There is a replacement bus and Taxi. The 901 is being operated by A-Line.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 22 Jul 2015
The new Next Stop Announcements work really well on the unrefurbished Metrocars.
I'm presently sat on the Emirates liveried one (which is paired to 4002) and the buzzer sound of the doors closing works really well with the voice.
The old buzzer at this time of morning is a breath of fresh air, too. Much easier on the ears.
