Tyne and Wear Metro
(22 Oct 2014, 3:10 pm)Dan Service suspended between South Gosforth and Haymarket due to overhead line issues.
No trains due at Park Lane for half an hour. Think I will go for the bus!
(22 Oct 2014, 3:26 pm)Tom It's getting beyond a joke now - Do you get all of these problems on the London Underground? I don't think so.

(22 Oct 2014, 4:30 pm)citaro5284 Cannot, The Tube does not operate using overhead wires, but I do get what you mean, it does seem frequently that there is some sort of issues.Oh right cheers

Tell you what Dan, for someone who does nowt but complain about the metro, you are seemingly never off it (when you can get a train)!
Good job there is 'some' integration left. Roll on full integration

(22 Oct 2014, 6:55 pm)aureolin It's really hard to compare the two, as the Metro is massively reliant on the backbone between Pelaw and South Gosforth. If there's a single issue between those two points, the entire system seems to collapse. With the Tube, you may have severe delays on one line, but the rest of the lines are providing a good service.

(22 Oct 2014, 7:00 pm)Tom Yeah I suppose...
It's every day though, was it like that a couple of years ago?

(22 Oct 2014, 7:02 pm)aureolin An interesting question. I often wonder whether it's because we now have delay information at our finger tips, or whether it's a case that problems have massively increased. It'd be interesting to see some historical performance data to compare with the current data.

(22 Oct 2014, 7:23 pm)Dan The Nexus Annual Reports and Accounts offer Performance and Development for the past three financial years, which I have attached for the convenience of everyone.
During 2011/12:
During 2012/13:
- Metro patronage also declined by almost 2.4 million in 2011/12 and fell just below 38 million journeys. The impact that this loss of patronage has on Nexus’ financial performance is kept under constant review.
- Metro Charter punctuality was 88.4% during 2011/12, an improvement on the 86.5% in the previous year.
During 2013/14:
- Metro patronage declined by around 500,000 in 2012/13 to 37 million journeys. The impact that this loss of patronage has on Nexus’ financial performance is kept under constant review.
- Metro Charter punctuality was 86.0% during 2012/13, a decline on the 88.4% in the previous year.
- Metro patronage declined by 1.3 million in 2013/14 to 35.7 million journeys, half of which is attributed to Major Line Closures, a necessary feature of our Metro: all change modernisation programme. The impact that this loss of patronage has on Nexus‟ financial performance is kept under constant review.
- Metro Charter punctuality was 82.6% during 2013/14, a decrease on the 88.0% in the previous year.
Whilst there are discrepancies in the reported figures of Metro punctuality (see italics above - reported as 86% in 2012/13, though 88% in 2013/14), it is evident that Metro Charter punctuality has decreased year on year, which I'd argue could in part contribute to the decline in Metro patronage too (amongst other factors).

(22 Oct 2014, 8:22 pm)Dan Further to this, please see screenshot attached from Go North East's original Quality Contracts Scheme response (November 2013):
This provides data from 2007/08 onwards, though from a quick search on my computer, I cannot find anything which dates back earlier than this.

(24 Oct 2014, 8:05 am)aureolin Metro off between St James and North Shields due to a police incident.
Metro tweeting that Arriva are accepting tickets on the 1/1A... Confusing...
(24 Oct 2014, 3:31 pm)Tom Absolute joke...
''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.''
