Think we're getting a bit off-topic now, though! At least we have confirmed that a TEN double-deck was out for more than one run on the 901, eh? Hahah...

Service has now resumed and trains are running between Chichester and South Shields in both directions but are subject to delays of up to 15 mins. This was due to a vehicle hitting a Metro bridge. Please leave extra time for your journey.

4001 is out on the Sunderland line.

(01 Dec 2015, 5:45 pm)Dan wrote Seems to be on the green line every day!

It's been my ride to or from work five times in the past two weeks, and the days where I haven't been on it, I've passed it!

(01 Dec 2015, 5:45 pm)Michael wrote I was on it the other day, it was better than the refurbished ones..... shows how much worse they got after refurbishment.

(01 Dec 2015, 5:48 pm)Dan wrote Think it smells a bit and the doors are a pain in the arse, but much prefer the buzzer sound of doors closing on the units which haven't been refurbished.

The refurbished ones have a much brighter interior, but the lighter floor colour doesn't half show all the dirt which clearly isn't cleaned properly on a night.

(01 Dec 2015, 5:51 pm)Michael wrote Ye, the buzzer is quite loud i think.

Ye you can tell the cleaners cba to do it properly.

Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 27 operate between Heworth and South Shields.  We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Although the 27 is nearly finished now.


Wouldn't be surpised if start of service is delayed tomorrow.
