Metro Inspector was unable to provide an answer for the delays, when approached by customers.

Mine was on the boards when it was due in 2 minutes, but could see no further trains for South Hylton when the "This train is for South Hylton" message disappeared.
Just left Brockley Whins and there was one South Hylton train on the board, but couldn't see the time for when it was due.

There are no trains running between Wallsend and North Shields in both directions, this is due to a vehicle hitting a Metro bridge. We will update you once we have more information.

(26 Aug 2015, 11:36 am)Michael wrote There are no trains running between East Boldon and Sunderland 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, x36, 35, 35A operate between East Boldon and Sunderland. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

(27 Aug 2015, 5:25 am)Dan wrote I wasn't aware there was a sort of e-mail alert to notify everyone of delays and disruption (at least when it works)? Would be incredibly handy for me, as I rarely check the Social Media pages until I am stood on the platform and see the delay.
