That's an understatement.

As I've said before; even though I can use public transport for free, I won't look back when I can drive to work instead.

Someone's pulled... Will it be like the woman on the X9?

4001 on train 111

4019 has a fault with its doors. The rearmost door on the 'A' side opens every time it's closed for the first time.

Guess that's what happens when people hold the doors open too many times..?

Today I was at Regent Centre and the screen on platform 1 said
GOOD SERVICE IN OPERATION
Maybe this means on every other day there is bad service

Maybe each day is like an OFSTED rating.

Outstanding
Good
Unsatisfactory
Inadequate.

There are no trains running between Benton and Shiremoor in both directions until further notice. This is due to a police incident. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 19 operate between Northumberland Park and Percy Main. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
