(07 Dec 2014, 4:44 pm)Bus_User More than likely to be the same train that was withdrawn at Gosforth Michael which has resulted in a gap in service(hence the minor delay) towards South Hylton and then from South Hylton to Pelaw so whilst the message may look like 2 trains was withdrawn from service, it was infact just one.
Edit: Just in responce to Tom's post - I believe Metro are now puttng extra xmas services now which terminates at Sunderland/Pelaw/South Gosforth and Regent Centre so that what you may of saw or it could be one of the extra football special trains.

Tyne & Wear Metro: 4002 by danielgrahamm, on Flickr
Caused chaos when it pulled into the 'wrong' side of Sunderland station - lots of people made an attempt to get on it thinking it was an Airport-bound one. Been a while since I've seen the Sunderland/Park Lane sidings used.

(07 Dec 2014, 5:01 pm)Bus_User I don't know why people moan about the same old things anyways, especially when they are probably not even on the system anyways.
Plenty people on the system moaning in the local rag in S/Tyneside lately about being late for work day after day.
but be grateful we do have a system in place that can get you from A to B in quick time when it runs well.
Normally when travelling on the Metro you wouldn't have "A to B in quick time and Metro" in the same sentence because it doesn't happen very often.
Sundays example when I was out on the Sunderland branch two trains in quick succession to South Hylton and a Sunderland Xmas terminator then nothing for 33 mins because of a train taken out of service. Couldn't make it up really.

I rarely have a problem when I use the T&W Metro, but if someone is relying on it to commute 5 days a week, and their perception is that it's unreliable, then they have the right to moan about it. Folk are paying a lot of money to use the system, and a lot of their money went into putting the system there in the first place. Not to mention their annual charge as a matter of course, via their council tax.
Refurbished Metrocar 4036... What a nightmare!
It has more squeaks and rattles than a Dart, is missing a fleet number at the 'A' side (has been written on with a biro instead), and the Next Stop Announcements keep repeating 'This train terminates at the next station: Pelaw' at every single station, with the driver announcing what should be said instead.

(14 Dec 2014, 3:06 pm)MarcTheA4 I rarely if ever use the Metro, Dan.
However, I remember quite a while back I did a very short stint from Gateshead to Monument. Can't even remember the fleet number (which isn't quite right, for me!

(14 Dec 2014, 3:12 pm)Tom What's with the double post?
(14 Dec 2014, 3:13 pm)MarcTheA4 Haha, I actually see that quite a lot with other people. I don't actually know what happened! - I just know I wrote the message the once!
- Have you been offline for two hours, and it's for some reason duplicated your post?
