North East Buses

Just spotted this:

Tyne and Wear Metro
1 hr ·
There are no trains running between Park Lane and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 56 operate between Park Lane and South Hylton. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Anyone notice the mistake?


This is now cleared btw!

RIP but the image shows the crossing so it may noy be suicide.

What happens when Go North East Accept metro tickets due to a fault or a problem with the service, do Metro have to pay some sort of fee every time this happens?

Yup, to any bus operator who accepts Metro tickets.

Bazza, the first set of delays was caused by a death on the line.

Very sad, what can drive a person to do that
Awful for the driver especially, also it must be upsetting for the passengers

Was on the Metro and was locked in at South Gosforth this morning, the train failed and the driver tried turning the lights off for the train to work, it failed, not great to have two failed trains in a morning

Reading the fire alarm has gone off at Heworth....

It was pretty bad this morning, especially between Pelaw and Gateshead Stadium.

I can laugh this morning, don't get the Metro on Friday's. Through the week I have given up on using the metro from South Gosforth to Longbenton, now use the 32

23:55pm......

North Shields is closed and trains will not be stopping at this station until further notice. This is due to a problem with the power supply. We will update you once we have more information.

Does the metro run this late on a Sunday on that line?.

Haymarket closed due to fire alarm.

Metro journeys are at a five-year high, say bosses

If they build a new metro station, it absolutely must have that name. It's a thing of beauty

There are no trains running between Pelaw and Brockley Whins in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 5, 9, 27 operate between Heworth and Jarrow. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Thank you!
