I laughed at this: 

Transport needs to work for everyone. Our future transport system in the North East
must be:
1. Easy to use. It should be easy to plan safe journeys, find out the best way to travel,
pay for tickets and get all the essential information for your journey.
2. Reliable. The transport network should be one that we can rely on to work, with buses and trains running on time and congestion at a minimum.
3. Affordable. Transport should be provided at a reasonable cost relative to the journey being made.
4. Accessible. Transport should run as near as possible to where people live and want to travel to, and where businesses are (or want to be) located. It should be usable by everyone.


That won't happen with the current metro trains...........

Also going with the metro one:

Open new local stations on current lines, re-open key disused lines, consider more Park and Ride stations, upgrade freight-only sections to passenger use and build new routes. - The Metrocentre should be top of that list before anywhere else!
