Message I received this morning;
Tyne and Wear Metro travel alerts


Dear Tommy
Travel updates

There are no trains running between Pelaw and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to problem with the overhead line.

Bus replacement services are calling at or close to all stations in the affected area. Bus 900 between Heworth and Sunderland, bus replacement 901 between Sunderland and South Hylton.

Ticket acceptance on Go North East and Stagecoach buses in the affected area continues.

Trains are running to all other destinations but not to usual timetable.
Due to a technical fault the information boards on platforms are not working.

We are working to fix the problem as quickly as possible and will update you further once the issue has been resolved.

A reply from Tyne & Wear Metro - to a question asking when they'll be back on.

We're not expecting them to be running again today unfortunately. Replacement buses will still be accepting Metro tickets but please check back before you travel for up to date information.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Not good, with the weather we've had not surprised the metro has been affected badly.

Cue the massive amount of complaints though... 


Glad i don't have to go to college tomorrow, hope its sorted by Thursday!


Will the independent companies continue to run the 900/901 or will GNE or Arriva provide a few extra buses?.

No doubt the no deckers excuse will come up, that's a disgrace sticking a Solar on peak time much more suited to the 901 section as opposed to the 900 section.

Maybe but what if Deptford for example had all their decker's out, it can happen... its not like buses can be sent out straight away, drivers and so on have to be available.

If you think it's so easy allocating vehicles on an emergency replacement service, why don't you go and have a go.

I'm sure your professionalism will be welcomed.

The Majority of decker's from all depots will be in use on peak time extras ( Mostly Newcastle ) so simply cant be used.
Kingsleys put as much as they could for a last minute call up and withdrew some of their Tridents for there school services later in the day.

It has been very unprofessional in telling services from each other with Kingsleys having various scholars and " Bus 1 " etc services blinded on the Sunderland to Heworth section which was meant to be service 900 and GNE are running their buses blinded as 901 instead of the advertised 900 so 5201 is actually running on the 900 though is blinded for the 901
Also 5201 is arriving at Brockely Whins Metro now for Sunderland

Would be more of a disgrace in my opinion if Go North East took double deckers off normal service work and school services that need the capacity of a double decker to bail out a different form of transport system that has failed. It's far more important to think of the loyal GNE passengers who use their service on a daily basis rather than the people only using them as the Metro has gone to pot again.

Where do they get the extra buses from though? Thin air?

Any spare deckers are generally out on scholars and/or works services at peak times. I don't see why regular bus users should have to suffer, because Nexus and Metro can't get their house in order.

They've been abysmal. There's no excuse for not getting comms out there.

They're also avoiding the reason of today's outage. Note their statement on the website covers what happened on Saturday, but avoids what happened last night.
