Anyone noticed that a few of the late evening journeys which previously terminated at Manors are now terminating at Monument (platform 4) from February. 

I can imagine that it will be a bit confusing if they decide to use "Monument via Newcastle" on the on-board announcements, as they do with St James and Manors.

I'd imagine they'd just use 'via the Coast', as they do with everything else on that line?

The Tyne and Wear Metro is a vital part of commuter, leisure and tourist travel for many people in North East England. It is the busiest urban rail system in the UK outside London, carrying around 40 million passengers a year.

Although the Metro has always stood for innovation, after nearly four decades its train fleet will soon need to be replaced.

Nexus, the public body which owns and manages Metro, is completing a detailed business case for a £540 million investment in a new train fleet and the infrastructure to support it, building on its current programme to renew track, technology and other key assets.

A new train fleet will be around for decades to come and Nexus wants to ensure its design reflects the aspirations and needs of people across the community, and throughout their lives.

It has partnered with Open Lab at Newcastle University to work with people across Tyne and Wear to understand their needs and develop proposals for future Metrocars. These insights will then be used as designs for new trains are developed with suppliers in 2017.

There are no trains running between Airport and Regent Centre in both directions, this is due to a failed train.

We will update you once we have more information.

There are no trains running between Airport and South Gosforth in both directions until further notice. This is due to a failed train. 

A mini bus replacement service is in operation in each direction

Stagecoach are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 6&7 operate between South Gosforth and Kingston Park.

We will update you as soon as we have more information.

There was an interesting o/b from Monkseaton Metro on Radio Newcastle this morning, ahead of the handover from DB back to Nexus.

I imagine it will be available to listen to online.

Train service suspended between Wallsend and North Shields due to an overhead line issue at Howdon. A bus replacement service is in operation. Additionally, Go North East bus services 1, 42 and 310 are accepting Metro tickets.
Trains running to all other destinations subject to a 20 minute delay in some areas.
Please leave extra time for your journey.


Anyone know who's operating the bus replacement service?

Trains are now running between South Shields and Gateshead Stadium but with up to 30 mins delays due to problem with the overhead line.

Seems daft that the 310 and 42 are accepting tickets. 42 only serves wallsend metro, howdon and north shields. 310 on north shields and meadowell. Would be better the 11 accepting them.
6116,6117,6031 and 3972 operated emergency metro replacements last night.

Seen this on Facebook... Once again, they're just recycling information which we know already...


Plans for the replacement carriages - set to be launched after 2021 - will go before councillors on the North East Combined Authority (NECA) next week.
