There are delays of up to 15 mins to trains running between Jesmond and Airport and The Coast due to a failed train. Please leave extra time for your journey.
The Q&A on the Metro Facebook and Twitter is finishing soon but here is one of the questions:
There has been a huge spike recently in the number of trains being withdrawn from service because of train faults. Have the causes of these faults been identified and permanently rectified? Or are the same faults recurring? What is the long- and short-term plan to stop these faults occurring?

The short term plan includes the recent employment of more engineering staff in our maintenance department. In the longer term Nexus are currently working with Government to secure the funding to procure new rolling stock.
Tyne and Wear Metro thanks for the reply. The first part of my question still stands though. Have the causes of these faults been identified and permanently rectified? Or are they same faults recurring?
I like how they've only answered half of the question.............
