The male who announces train departures at Sunderland station has been replaced by a new female, more robotic voice.
More work has been done to include other stations served, other than simply stating that the train goes to South Hylton or Airport.
Not sure if this would be more appropriate in another thread or not - the Northern Rail announcements have been updated too (anyone know where Prood hoe is?)

It'll be interesting to see this report, but it doesn't look good for Metro...

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

(19 Nov 2015, 7:47 am)DanPicken wrote Not yet but its good they can get a bus quick enough for 1 stop but took 3 hours for the train which managed to wreck the points.

Sometimes things are just so obvious, people just can't see it.
(20 Nov 2015, 6:32 pm)Dan wrote Once again, the message wasn't clear on Social Media.
A simple "St James is closed due to essential maintenance. All trains are terminating at Monument from The Coast, with Metro Replacement service 900 running from Monument to St James" would have done the job.
The announcements on stations weren't too dissimilar to the above, and it was much clearer.

(20 Nov 2015, 7:45 pm)DanPicken wrote I'm part of this and there was apparently delays on the SH line due to a Horse on the line, also St James is shut for refurb apparently not the essential maintence advertised, personally think the lift has gone so there's no disabled access.
