That'll account for my wait of almost 20 mins at Park Lane towards Newcastle then. :p things didn't get better as primary school trip of hyper kids got on at Sunderland.

Much else happening through that way? Ended up getting most of the Metro replacement stuff at Pelaw, as Metro staff were out in force at Heworth. Low sun most of the morning didn't help either!

Nobody and nothing on the tracks from what I have seen on 6100!
The gates for SoL were open so I think they're using that as an access point though.

Their was quite a few at Heworth Yesterday when i was heading to Newcastle........ Alot of confused people to why all the trains was heading to Airport etc and non towards South Hytlon etc
We also waited 10 mins before setting off towards Newcastle and waited 5 mins before we got in to Heworth when we got back...

Sounds about right. There were 3 at the top of the escalators at Heworth, but none on the platform telling passengers where the Metros are headed. Baring in mind everything is running into Platform 1.

I went through Heworth yesterday and 6 replacement vehicles (mixture if the three operators) were parked around the back, leaving very little room for service work.
The queue at the front for the buses were huge and that was after several gave up and jumped on the 27.
