I've not seen it mentioned so... 
Just caught sight of an email to say that the P&R sites at the various Metro stations are offering free parking in the lead up to Christmas.
Someone may want to do some digging and see if they can find a link.

Depends on the type of maintenance, for the major line  closures they'll fence off the station and offer the full range of Metro tickets on the bus, for short term closures/emergency replacements you purchase them from the Metro ticket machines.

You can buy them on the bus, but if you happen to be walking past the station on the way to get the bus, I'd recommend getting the tickets at the machines still as it speeds up the process, and will mean less delays on the bus.

Yellow line (St James to South Shields) is anticipated to reopen tomorrow, whilst the green line (Airport to South Hylton) will remain closed.

Metro have ran a test train to South Hylton within the last couple of hours however this has since brought the wires down and the engineers are too busy working on the ECML at the moment.

They only need 36 trains for the current full timetable. More than enough, especially for the planned increased service to South Shields.

- 9.5% rise on singles and day tickets, but frozen if you use the PAYG POP card

Love the Gazette's headline:

Metro and Shields Ferry passengers face ticket price hikes - here's how some can dodge paying extra

Does that mean we'll see the return of Checkywatch?

Although it is still believed that the first of the new trains will arrive in November, a delay to some subsequent deliveries is now expected. It is still hoped they will all arrive by the end of 2024 but this is less promising now.

Quote:From September this year, we’re closing the Metro line from Pelaw to South Shields for 12 weeks.
It’s for our Metro Flow project, where we’ll be upgrading and electrifying an existing freight line, meaning we can run more Metros, more frequently.
Which company is operating the cover inbetween the section of Pelaw & South Shields ?

Or what the PVR is?

Wonder how many vehicles GNE will operate, or if they will get some older one in from different companies 

I read somewhere that it is a PVR of 22 and some spare with the Euro 5 min - surly Stanley Travel & JH will only be able to provide 5 each max
