(01 Dec 2015, 5:45 pm)Michael I was on it the other day, it was better than the refurbished ones..... shows how much worse they got after refurbishment.

Think it smells a bit and the doors are a pain in the arse, but much prefer the buzzer sound of doors closing on the units which haven't been refurbished.

The refurbished ones have a much brighter interior, but the lighter floor colour doesn't half show all the dirt which clearly isn't cleaned properly on a night.

I wouldn't say can't be bothered. Cleaning is outsourced (to Interserve I think?), and Metro are probably getting exactly what they're paying for. 

Mind you, it wasn't the greatest idea to go with a light floor...

There are no trains running between Pelaw and South Shields in both directions, this is due to problem with the overhead line. We will update you once we have more information.

Update:

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

Although the 27 is nearly finished now.


Wouldn't be surpised if start of service is delayed tomorrow.

Still off - no replacement buses (yet).

Go North East & Stagecoach accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 35,X36, 8 operate between Heworth and South Hylton
Go North East service 9 operate Jarrow and Sunderland.


Not what people want on a Monday morning, and if they go by the above alternative travel arrangements, they're f*cked.........

To make it more annoying:

Due to a technical fault the information boards on platforms are not working. We are working to fix the problem as quickly as possible and will update you further once the issue has been resolved.
