Slightly more accurate than the version on the BBC website, which was talking about "leaving the engines running all night".

Presumably the noise of compressors and other auxiliaries is causing the problem.

I've heard rumours that it's supposed to represent the gulf in the league table position between the regions highest ranked league team and the lowest ranked league team.

Is it not because of the BR Trains sharing the line with the Metro,so more clearance is needed,im sure all the Stations between Sunderland and Fellgate are the same

All the Metro stations between Sunderland and Fellgate apart from the Stadium of Light station are on straight bits of track, whereas the Stadium of Light station is on a curve so there needs to be a larger gap to allow the longer National Rail locos, wagons and coaches to go around the curve without removing the platform edge as they go past.

Something about the trains or an upgrade. Doubt an extension as nothing political has been said or campaigned recently.
