(15 Oct 2014, 9:28 pm)Bus_User Because the inconvenience is very minor to say the very least and the distance between the stations is just ridiculously short to accept Metro tickets.
Although I could be wrong, I very much doubt the suspension would of lasted very long and by the time Nexus contacted bus operators to accept tickets, the suspension would of been lifted?
(15 Oct 2014, 9:31 pm)Dan Let's say I'm recovering from a broken toe and have purchased an all zones day saver ticket...
I purchased a ticket which allows me to use the Metro to any station in the network - yet I'm left at Monument with no service and I'm forced to walk instead?
Bet they made a saving by not getting the bus operators to give a helping hand...

(18 Oct 2014, 4:41 pm)aureolin I'm a bit puzzled why Nexus would make the call. If DB Tyne and Wear are contracted for running the system, I'd have thought they'd be the ones responsible to invoke a continuity plan?

(18 Oct 2014, 5:05 pm)citaro5284 Nexus, DB Regio who cares, it is the guys and girls in South Gosforth Control Room, whoever they work for.Don't get me wrong. It wasn't an attempt to be pedantic, but more so curious as to where the responsibility lay.

Oh come on. Using a football match as an excuse for the time taken to resolve technical faults. There's at least 19 home games every football season. They're published in advance and don't come as a last minute shock to Metro.

We are running a frequent service with trains running to all destinations but not to the usual timetable. This is due to low rail adhesion.
