(18 Mar 2023, 8:22 pm)Storx wrote Not sure what time you were travelling but I could imagine they were prioritising runs out of Sunderland towards Newcastle after the game. Not to mention the football traffic wrecking havoc at the same time.

The timetable was unrealistic today and they knew the football was on so there's no excuses. Not sure how busy they were either but only having a 15 minute service before and after the game is stupid aswell.

I was on the 23 after the game and coming out of Dene Estate I saw 2 GNE deckers together - both standing room only.

Rather hilariously, even though there was a lack of buses yesterday. It seems there was the opposite problem today, GNE and Stagecoach buses duping each other running to the same running times. Don't know how that managed to happen.

Bit confusing metro rep coming up. Maybe someone can make sense of it. Its the 24th June part km confused about the 900/901

On Saturday 24 June, no trains will run between Jesmond, South Gosforth and Four Lane Ends until about 6.15pm*
and no trains will be running between South Gosforth and Airport all day. This is to allow for depot signalling work to take place.

* The time will vary depending on location and direction of travel.

Replacement bus services will be running:
Bus 900 between Haymarket and Four Lane Ends (via Regent Centre)
Bus 901 between Haymarket and Airport (South Gosforth and Airport after 6.15pm*)

Replacement bus timetables to be uploaded soon.

If you are attending the Hoppings, Haymarket station is the nearest station during the line closure.

On Sunday 25 June, no trains will run between South Gosforth and Airport all day. This is to allow for depot signalling work to take place.

Replacement bus services will be running:
Replacement bus 901 between South Gosforth and Airport.

Replacement bus timetables will be uploaded soon

Makes slightly sense from the nexus website today

During the weekend works there will be a replacement bus service 900 running from Haymarket to Four Lane Ends, and a 901 bus running from Haymarket to Airport. They will be in operation during the works and will call at or close to all Metro stations affected.

There will also be an express replacement bus service X901 which will operate a faster link between Newcastle city centre and Newcastle Airport every 30 minutes between 8am-6pm on Saturday 24 June and Sunday 25 June.

Metro services will resume between Jesmond and Four Lane Ends at approximately 6.15pm on Saturday 24 June, and between South Gosforth and Airport on Monday 26 June. Some last and first train times will be different to normal so please check before travelling.
