Tyne and Wear Metro
Tyne and Wear Metro
There are no trains running between Heworth and Jarrow in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault.
We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 900, calling at or near to all stations between Heworth and Jarrow.
We will update you once we have more information.

(12 Jul 2015, 8:57 pm)Dan Yes, it was Go North East. Four buses in total - two from Deptford, and two from Chester-le-Street.
A very well-known driver from the latter depot, too...

(15 Jul 2015, 7:48 am)Dan Certainly isn't working today (although no word on Twitter yet!)
Power outage in East Boldon area apparently resulted in all signals going on red to show danger. Our driver went straight through the signal and the Metro came to an immediate halt after one full carriage and part of the back carriage went past the signal. Whiplash claim?
Been stuck just before East Boldon for 20 minutes. Not what you need when you don't feel too well to begin with!

(15 Jul 2015, 7:08 pm)Dan I was stuck between Seaburn and East Boldon for 30 minutes, although the driver went slow all the way to Pelaw, meaning that I was on the Metro for an hour opposed to 20-odd minutes.
You understand I was not best pleased...

The new Next Stop Announcements work really well on the unrefurbished Metrocars.
I'm presently sat on the Emirates liveried one (which is paired to 4002) and the buzzer sound of the doors closing works really well with the voice.
The old buzzer at this time of morning is a breath of fresh air, too. Much easier on the ears.
