When they striked in 2010/2011, the 27 and 56 ran every 5 minutes, with Winlaton depot providing the extras on the 27.

All the focus was on one particular night - the Spice Girls gig at the dark place.
Hopefully the other three episodes are more representative of the Metro system we see day in and day out, not just the fluffy bits that Huw Lewis wants us to see.

Next week will seemingly just be 23 minutes of angry Newcastle fans
Was hopeful it would be more like the stuff Channel 5 have made like On the Yorkshire Buses which focused on EYMS and Paddington Station 24/7 but it's ITV so comes across as cheap filler tosh.

On Sunday 16 February no trains will run between Pelaw and South Hylton to allow for Network Rail work. During the work a replacement bus service, number 901 will be calling at or close to all stations Heworth - South Hylton.
Some late night buses will continue to Regent Centre from Heworth as they do not connect to the last trains. The last bus towards South Hylton will end service at Park Lane. Please check train and bus times before travelling to ensure you have sufficient time for any transport connections.
Replacement bus stop location maps and bus timetables are available below. Your journey will take longer so please check train times and leave extra time for travel.
Does anyone know what work Network rail is doing, i can't find any information on it, it must be big, as the whole section is closed all day and night (first to last metro).
