(04 Feb 2016, 8:57 am)idiot A lot of people are blaming DB on social media but I do think it's nexus fault as DB just run it.

Also did nexus try to secure funding for new trains or just the bid to refurb?

Both partys are to blame for the farse that is the Metro

DB are to blame for the constant failings on Metrocars and the upkeep and cleaning of the Metrocars ( Cleaning is Subcontracted )
Nexus are to blame for track, signals and Other Infastructure failings.

The section between Pelaw and South Hylton ( Particularly the Brockley Whins area ) is plagued by OLE Fualts and cant be fixed properly due to it being Non Standard and no Knwoledge of the type.

That section is Network Rail managed but Nexus chose the OLE for the trains to run on back in 2002 so even though Nexus blame the faults on Network Rail, Its actually there fault.

Nexus only bid for Refurbishment of the already life expired trains because with all projects up here, If it costs a lot its never going to be funded by Government.

New trains and extensions will come in a separate bill to the Government in the Mid 2020s unless the reliability of the current Metrocars falls to unacceptable levels.

The £6m refurbishment of the Metro concourse and platforms at Central Station in Newcastle will mean that the station has to close completely for three full days in March.

Nexus, which owns and manages Metro, is to shut Metro Central Station from 8pm on Thursday March 10 until the end of Metro services Sunday March 13.

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.

Not sure if this is part of the earlier delays or something new
--------------

Anyway here's the one off earlier:

Apart from when it's off, when isn't the Metro failing or delayed in general?

My first full week of not having to use the Metro to travel to work has been excellent. I'm so glad I don't have to wake up on a morning and worry about if the Metro is working.
