(19 Nov 2015, 8:55 am)Dan Go North East has provided two vehicles, 3972 and 3973, for the Metro Replacement.
Why 2 surely it only needs 1.

(19 Nov 2015, 7:43 am)DanPicken Who's running this and a few people on Facebook are confused as they don't know if its 1 stop or all around the Coast.
Although it perhaps could be explained better, I think common sence should also apply and that if it was all the way around the coast, not only this would be said but you would also see it explained that people who want to travel between Regent Centre and Airport won't be able to do so.
Sometimes things are just so obvious, people just can't see it.

Once again, the message wasn't clear on Social Media.
A simple "St James is closed due to essential maintenance. All trains are terminating at Monument from The Coast, with Metro Replacement service 900 running from Monument to St James" would have done the job.
The announcements on stations weren't too dissimilar to the above, and it was much clearer.

I don't understand how they seem to get their communications so wrong. It's one of the big things that the "Sort out the Metro" group are pressing them about.

I'm part of this and there was apparently delays on the SH line due to a Horse on the line, also St James is shut for refurb apparently not the essential maintence advertised, personally think the lift has gone so there's no disabled access.

Its definately not being refurbished that is for sure and if one lift is out of order then common sence would be to stop every train onto the opposite platform.
I agree the message on social media was not the best but I don't think it was that difficult to understand either, especially if your local.

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 23 Nov 2015
There are no trains running between St James and Chillingham Road in both directions, this is due to obstruction on the line. We will update you once we have more information.
