(07 Mar 2015, 9:05 pm)aureolin Some people haven't a choice, i.e. wheelchair users.
(07 Mar 2015, 9:08 pm)Dan Don't both sides of Seaburn station have ramp access (similar to Stadium of Light)? I can't recall any steps - but it's been a good few months since I last used that station so I may be mistaken.
(07 Mar 2015, 9:09 pm)Tom Aye I know there is nothing wrong with them though.

Also me and my mate got stuck in a lift in the Baltic Art Centre, he was scared of lifts start off with it, Once the thing got moving he was nearly crying as he was not expecting it, he panicked that much to the point that I now dont really like getting in lifts

Michael - don't get the Metro this morning. They're disrupted as usual.
Just been an announcement saying there are delays to service and when the next Metros are due (13 minutes for mine - which seems to be the 0650 train judging by the people on it: 25 mins late!) and two are running in tandem towards South Hylton. Due now and 3 mins respectively at SoL.
EDIT: Another due 2 mins behind the second train going to South Hylton........

Also service suspended between North shields and wallsend due to a failed unit at Hadrian Road.
Sigh...
(26 Feb 2015, 8:53 am)MrFozz While not quite like the Metro footage, I have seen Bus CCTV footage, the BBC sometimes have a programme about Insurance Scamming and it often includes crash for cash claims against bus companies and uses CCTV to show what happened
Happened a few times IIRC, one was at Brockley Whins about 7 years ago, are Mobility Scooters still banned.

(10 Mar 2015, 7:02 am)Dan Some minor delays towards South Hylton this morning. Thankfully nothing towards Airport and my train remains unaffected.
And it's warm - happy days!
