Sharon Hodgson has tried this each year for at least the last four, and each time has got nowhere at all.

She has, to me its pointless, it won't happen because the Government would rather locate the money to London, as they can afford to build Crossrail and HS2 (although not started) and now they're planning extensions for Crossrail...but nothing for the Tyne and Wear metro?

London wants, London gets, yes its the capital but that isn't the point, money should be spread around the country.

You can't compare London to the Tyne and Wear Metro though. The footfall in London justifies Crossrail 1 & 2, and the Tube is well over capacity (and actually at breaking point) during peak times. Almost 87 million entries/exits at Victoria alone during 2014, which is over double of what used the entire Tyne and Wear Metro system in 2015 - around 40 million...

Has anyone seen the clip doing the rounds of the blokes on the platform (somewhere on North Tyneside), kicking off at a passenger on the train?

Swearing, fist pumping, head banging and spitting.

It appears Metro may be let out again in the future.

NEPO have a tender advertising 'legal services in the letting of the next Metro Concession'.

Train services are disrupted due to an earlier train failure at Central Station. Trains are running but we currently have delays of up to 30 mins to trains running between Central Station and South Shields and South Hylton. Whilst trains are running they are not to timetable and passengers should leave extra time for their journey.

It's not a major thing, but after travelling on the Metro yesterday, I've noticed that the wording is a bit funny on the announcement leaving St James. If you're local, it probably wouldn't matter, but if you're a visitor to the area, it could be a bit confusing?

"This train is for all stations to South Shields. Next station is Monument, change here for trains to South Shields, South Hylton, Airport and Whitley Bay via Four Lane Ends, and local bus services."

Wonder if this problem will be sorted for tomorrow, this is off earlier:

Some peak time Metro services are cancelled today due to a shortage of available trains. While most services will run as normal, those between Pelaw and Monkseaton or Regent Centre may be cancelled. As a result trains will be busier than usual.  We're sorry for any inconvenience.
