Tyne and Wear Metro

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro
Just spotted this:

Tyne and Wear Metro
1 hr ·
There are no trains running between Park Lane and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 56 operate between Park Lane and South Hylton. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Anyone notice the mistake?


This is now cleared btw!
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Yup, to any bus operator who accepts Metro tickets.

Bazza, the first set of delays was caused by a death on the line.

Undecided, not a nice sight for people on the metro or the platform.

Very sad, what can drive a person to do that Sad
Awful for the driver especially, also it must be upsetting for the passengers Sad
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro
Was on the Metro and was locked in at South Gosforth this morning, the train failed and the driver tried turning the lights off for the train to work, it failed, not great to have two failed trains in a morning

It was pretty bad this morning, especially between Pelaw and Gateshead Stadium.

I can laugh this morning, don't get the Metro on Friday's. Through the week I have given up on using the metro from South Gosforth to Longbenton, now use the 32

North Shields is closed and trains will not be stopping at this station until further notice. This is due to a problem with the power supply. We will update you once we have more information.

Does the metro run this late on a Sunday on that line?.

If they build a new metro station, it absolutely must have that name. It's a thing of beauty Big Grin
