Probably would have taken me more time (would have to get a 53 from here to Redheugh Bridge and a 49 from there to Bensham afterwards) than the 56 to Gateshead, by the time a train turned up. Plus, I don't think our staff passes are valid.
0638 train from Stadium of Light turned up at 0710, out of service.
0650 train turned up at about 0720, 30 mins late. At Heworth now and the delays are being extended even further as the driver is having to wait up to two minutes at each station to allow people to navigate their ways out of the maze of bodies.
