Think he was being sarcastic, given that it has been a complete shambles today!

That said; depending on when the breakdown took place, they did seem to react fairly well to clear the train considering. I'm surprised it caused so much disruption though - why not just turn the trains at Park Lane or Millfield?

The first three departures from Sunderland this morning appear to be fine (thankfully).

I've noticed the new announcements on the trains now state "Change for Whitley Bay via Wallsend", rather than "The Coast via Wallsend". In some ways, I think this is better, as "the coast" could also be associated with South Shields, not just the North Tyneside coast. However, I think that having done this, it would be useful if the countdowns at the stations could be altered to accommodate this change.

To be fair I wouldn't expect any other on GNR day. I thought they would have had plenty of extras on mind... Something the bus operators could look to steal from next year

Thats the point Scott, they are saying there is extra Metro's, but people are complaining that they are not running.

And they have seat shortages on the (delayed) Metros which are operating...

I've previously expressed my disapproval of doing training on peak time trains - but this takes the biscuit...
