A decision on Metro fares in 2021 has been put on hold to allow for further talks with the Government over a Recovery Plan for the network.

The annual fare review has been deferred so that Metro operator, Nexus, has more time to develop and agree a Recovery Plan with the Department for Transport, which will include an agreed approach to future fare changes.

The fare proposals for Metro and the Shields Ferry will now be heard on 19 January, with any proposed changes not taking effect until 1 April, councillors agreed today, Thursday 5 November.

So I dare bet they also have to pay a fraction in metrep tenders as a result of this.

It's amazing the amount of critisism Arriva used to get when they used to run the Metro from local media yet nowadays Nexus just get away with it. The service was bad under Arriva (DB Regio) but by god was it nowhere near the level that it's at now. Notice Nexus have the usual excuses blaming Covid this time but it's been a problem long before the pandemic, nothing to do with bad management and everyone leaving for National Rail where the wage and working conditions are better. Genuinely worried about public transport up here now that the prat Tobyn Hughes has been promoted and is in charge of Transport North East. A massive shakeup up here is badly needed at the top but it's not going to happen when Tobyn, Forbes and their mates are in control of everything.

I agree , GNE must be the ‘butchers’ of the bus network. Forever changing their routes and timetables for the worse. I realise this post should probably live under the GnE page.

Richard Holden MP for Consett is tweeting: "The Chancellor of the Exchequer, today announced that the feasibility study for new link between Consett and The Tyne has got the go ahead!"

Wonder how this wil affect GNE services (X lines etc...) and possible extension of Tyne & Wear Metro ad zone pricing to the wider area?
