Seems Metro Tickets Machines cannot sell Weekly Tickets at the minute.
(08 Jan 2015, 10:32 am)Dan Trains only operating between South Hylton and Fellgate due to power supply issues. As my Metro is due in 2m (on-time), I'm not complaining!

(08 Jan 2015, 10:49 am)Kuyoyo Major power outage across most of Newcastle according to various supporting comments on their Facebook post - so for once Nexus and DB are blameless.

(08 Jan 2015, 10:56 am)Dan Interesting that the announcement at Park Lane station said South Hylton - Fellgate, whereas the posts on Facebook say South Hylton - Pelaw... Nothing was on the information boards. Anyone know if they are actually operating beyond Fellgate, or if this was just a mistake when announcing it?

Loads of punters milling around outside Brockley Whins as of 11:30 so still no progress.
From Go North East on Facebook:
Due to problems with the Tyne & Wear Metro, #27 is experiencing increased passenger loadings. Please bear with us and we'll have you on the move as soon as possible.
Anyone planning on using the 27.... good luck

Took a while for that to come through.

There are no trains running between Pelaw and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to obstruction on the line. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 9, 35, X36 operate between Pelaw and Park Lane. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
Wonder if a wheelie bin has blown onto the tracks 'cause of this wind?
On a more serious note, why isn't South Hylton - Park Lane covered by a bus service? Service 8 operates between South Hylton and Sunderland, service 11 operates between Pallion and Sunderland, services 8/20 operate between Millfield and Sunderland, yet Metro passengers are left stranded and cannot use their Metro tickets on these buses?
Let's not forget that services 9, 35 and X36 do not actually operate between Pelaw and Park Lane - they serve some of the Metro stations in between the two quoted stations. Services 9 and 35 cover all stations between Park Lane and Seaburn, and service X36 likewise to St. Peter's, but after that, service 9 is useless until Fellgate and service X36 is useless until Heworth...

Northern Rail just posted a picture on Twitter of the cause of the line "blockage"
