(14 Sep 2015, 6:40 pm)aureolin That is an absolutely pathetic excuse for a service delay. I was on an East Coast service a fortnight ago, which was delayed by 10 minutes for the same reason.
What's wrong with going mob handed, and chucking the pratt off?
That's almost as good as the Metro excuse generator, and also the customer service buzzword bingo.

(14 Sep 2015, 6:50 pm)Dan I thought it sounded somewhat unrealistic, given that Tommy has previously quoted the weekday PVR (12 minute frequency on each line with extra trains at peak times) being quite high, leaving very little spare trains, when the PVR was previously discussed. The Sunday frequency on each line is 15 minutes, so I can't see the PVR being reduced drastically to allow for 60-70 trains to be made available.

For these 60-70 extra trains there needs to be at least 105 (out of 45!) sets. Simple maths, yet they're making a cock of themselves in front of the country with their crap system... and maths..!

(14 Sep 2015, 7:24 pm)aureolin This is why I asked them for number of units, rather than trains. For all I know, they could be saying that one train doing 10 journeys in the day, is actually 10 extra trains.

There are no trains running between Bede and South Shields in both directions until further notice. This is due to a problem with the power supply. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 27 operate between Jarrow and South Shields. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

"Nexus, the public body which owns and manages Metro, says it is pleased to see the footage again so it can be retained for heritage purposes."
...yet they do all they can to deter enthusiasts. Is that not retaining footage and photographs for heritage purposes...?
