4019 has a fault with its doors. The rearmost door on the 'A' side opens every time it's closed for the first time.
Guess that's what happens when people hold the doors open too many times..?

There are no trains running between Benton and Shiremoor in both directions until further notice. This is due to a police incident. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 19 operate between Northumberland Park and Percy Main. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
