As long as the headlights meet requirements then the yellow front isn't required.
Sunday, 16 February 2020 - No trains between Pelaw and South Hylton
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).

The Government has today agreed to fund a £100m scheme to increase service frequency, reduce journey times, and improve reliability on the Tyne and Wear Metro.
The Metro Flow project will see an existing freight line upgraded and electrified in South Tyneside from September 2022, making it capable of carrying Metro services, boosting the capacity for an extra 30,000 passenger journeys every day.
Three sections of single track on the Metro network totalling three kilometres will be dualled between Pelaw and Bede Metro stations #Budget2020
