I must say, I'm really liking the middle one! Although a splash of yellow on the front wouldn't go amiss to stop it being a bit too dark

I probably prefer the top design. Seems to be the more modern looking of the three.

Don't the front and rear of trains have to be yellow by law or is that an old thing now. Yellow was in order for trains to be able to be seen in the distance. Definatley image 2 would cause visibility issues.

I believe it was relaxed some years ago now. The TPE class 68s for example don't have a yellow front.

As long as the headlights meet requirements then the yellow front isn't required.

Sunday, 16 February 2020 - No trains between Pelaw and South Hylton
On Sunday 16 February no trains will run between Pelaw and South Hylton to allow for Network Rail work. During the work a replacement bus service, number 901 will be calling at or close to all stations Heworth - South Hylton.

Some late night buses will continue to Regent Centre from Heworth as they do not connect to the last trains. The last bus towards South Hylton will end service at Park Lane. Please check train and bus times before travelling to ensure you have sufficient time for any transport connections.

Replacement bus stop location maps and bus timetables are available below. Your journey will take longer so please check train times and leave extra time for travel.


Does anyone know what work Network rail is doing, i can't find any information on it, it must be big, as the whole section is closed all day and night (first to last metro).

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

The Government has today agreed to fund a £100m scheme to increase service frequency, reduce journey times, and improve reliability on the Tyne and Wear Metro.

The Metro Flow project will see an existing freight line upgraded and electrified in South Tyneside from September 2022, making it capable of carrying Metro services, boosting the capacity for an extra 30,000 passenger journeys every day.

Three sections of single track on the Metro network totalling three kilometres will be dualled between Pelaw and Bede Metro stations #Budget2020

Of course, this increased frequency and capacity will likely lead to reductions in parallel bus services in due course.

Totally agree. Tendering it out to DB for those years, was an unmitigated disaster as far as I am concerned. 
I don't think it would be any different under a franchise tied with local heavy rail ops either.

I know the opposite happened with MerseyRail, but it's just something I can see happening. Unfortunately.
