I agree the message on social media was not the best but I don't think it was that difficult to understand either, especially if your local.
Now being said the Asbestos has spread from tunnel to Station.

There are no trains running between St James and Chillingham Road in both directions, this is due to obstruction on the line. We will update you once we have more information.

Yes, I found that out the hardway. 07:50 Regent Centre-Pelaw did not run and my 07:53 from Regent Centre to South Hylton was late. I think I might just give up.
