There are no trains running between Bede and South Shields in both directions until further notice. This is due to a failed train. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 27, 88 operate between Jarrow and South Shields. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
Well I spoke too soon on the "What's made you happy today?" thread...
In addition to the modernisation work being carried out between Heworth and Monument resulting in no trains operating (albeit with a replacement bus service running), there are now no trains between Heworth and South Shields / Brockley Whins. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets Heworth - South Shields, but no replacement bus service between Brockley Whins and Heworth meaning that customers are stranded or are faced with an hour-long detour via Hebburn on the 88/88A and 27 to Heworth.
Oh yes, and there are delays too. Don't know whether it was just the one I intended to catch, but it was running around five minutes late. This is the revised timetable for the weekend, too, and not the ordinary times.
Both me and my mam, intending to travel to Newcastle, have turned back and gone home as it's not worth even attempting to go out when there's problems like this on the network. A few others are the same, including one person who had already paid for his parking space at the Stadium of Light. What a liberty.

There are no trains running between Jesmond and Monument in both directions until further notice. This is due to problem with the overhead line.
We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 900, calling at or near to all stations between Jesmond and Heworth.
We will update you once we have more information.
