Ye, the reason for the increase because they're duelling the track on part of the South Shields line, meaning each "line" can have a 10 minute frequency.

Should be enough even if they do a slight increase, due to the reliability being much better........... big question is... will the current trains last until then?

You have to remember the Jarrow tanks will still need to run, likely a temporary crossover will have to installed first at Pelaw and again at Jarrow to enable the tanks to run on the up whilst the down is relaid and mast seats sank. The NR line hasn't been touched in years and with (at peak) daily weights of 6500t at low speed has pretty much knackered it!

We have been appointed by Nexus, the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive, to provide project control services across three major programmes.

The new contract will build on the global professional services firm’s existing programme management with Nexus and see it continue to work services across the transport authority’s Metro Futures, Metro Flow and infrastructure programmes.

Metro Futures is a major £500 million programme to modernise the busiest and most frequent light rail network outside of London to help deliver long term social and economic benefits for the North East.

The Metro Flow project is a £100 million track dualling scheme in South Tyneside to further enhance Metro services and boost capacity to provide an extra 24,000 customer journeys every day.

The capital delivery programme will upgrade and renew current infrastructure within the Nexus Service including Tyne Dock in South Shields, Ferry Landings in North Shields, Tanners Bank in North Shields and Christon Road in Gosforth.
