Superb service this evening - the next four services on the boards are all towards South Shields, meaning that there isn't another South Hylton train for at least 56 minutes..?

Metro Inspector was unable to provide an answer for the delays, when approached by customers.

Bloody hope that's the case..!

Mine was on the boards when it was due in 2 minutes, but could see no further trains for South Hylton when the "This train is for South Hylton" message disappeared.

Just left Brockley Whins and there was one South Hylton train on the board, but couldn't see the time for when it was due.

Won't make a difference - it's filthy anyway, so you couldn't see any marks off the stones!

There are no trains running between Wallsend and North Shields in both directions, this is due to a vehicle hitting a Metro bridge. We will update you once we have more information.

Notice how they actually give you the details, when it's not them at fault?

That's what baffles me - sometimes they are so forthright with providing service updates, and other times they seem not to have a clue..?

It's certainly a lot better to provide more information than too little, mind, and they are usually pretty good at communicating delays.

I wasn't aware there was a sort of e-mail alert to notify everyone of delays and disruption (at least when it works)? Would be incredibly handy for me, as I rarely check the Social Media pages until I am stood on the platform and see the delay.

If you go on the Nexus website, it's under Metro then Travel Alerts I think.

It never works though - it only works when they tell people about the 'good service' that they're running with two lines closed/suspended...

It won't be long until they send emails at 0100 about their good service...  Big Grin
