There are no trains running between St James and Chillingham Road in both directions, this is due to obstruction on the line. We will update you once we have more information.

Yes, I found that out the hardway. 07:50 Regent Centre-Pelaw did not run and my 07:53 from Regent Centre to South Hylton was late. I think I might just give up.

The Christmas/New Year Eve times are on Nexus as are Boxing Day and there's one which gives an overview of December saying when extra trains are running.
