Is it because of the fall in the £ . . .
He said: “Metro patronage has seen a decline during the start of 2016/17; without further intervention, the forecast to the end of the year is 37.9m, which is 6% below the 2015/16 level. Various marketing initiatives, including Nexus’ support of the SnowDogs Trail are part of a package of measures to help address the reduction in patronage, especially leisure trips where the declines are most prevalent.
“Linked to this, whilst total Metro farebox is currently outperforming the 2015/16 level, it is below the budget that was established for this financial year. The current forecast is £43.5m which is 1.1% down against budget.”

There are no trains running between Pelaw and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault.

We will update you once we have more information.

UPDATE: This problem will continue through out Sunday.
There are no trains running between Heworth and St. Peters in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault.
We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 901, calling at or near to all stations between St. Peters and Heworth.
There is a Metro service between St Peters and South Hylton it will be frequent but not to timetable.
Metro apologises for the inconvenience.
From the Sort the metro page:
Hi guys, another update from me...
The Metro will NOT run the full route tomorrow but instead run another shuttle service from South Hylton to Sunderland (these trains will not return to the depot tonight) and the service 901 bus replacement will run all day in the affected area.
Trains will NOT be allowed to run on the line until 8am tomorrow, this includes Northern Rail (I think I seen a time below regarding the first train)
Metro are due to run a full service on Monday and Northern Rail have been approached by Network Rail to run extra services between Sunderland and Newcastle.
To fix the OLE issues is due to take 2 nights (tonight and Sunday night) possession starts at 0001 and as stated above will finish at 8am. Allowing diesel trains only to run.
Again sorry for the long message just wanting to keep you all updated as best as possible.
Anyone know why the Metro Replacement is still running at 01:25 in the morning? Just had a Omnidekka pass my house in service.
Normally the last metro would be at 00:09 from my station ( Brockley Whins ) yet replacements are still running into the night.

Taxis have been deployed to keep passengers moving after problems hit the Metro service. An obstruction on the overhead line has knocked out services between Park Lane and South Hylton, Metro said.
Six-seater taxis are operating a shuttle service to carry passengers as Metro engineers work to fix the problem during the busy rush hour period.
