Tyne and Wear Metro travel alerts
Dear Tommy
Travel updates
There are no trains running between Pelaw and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to problem with the overhead line.
Bus replacement services are calling at or close to all stations in the affected area. Bus 900 between Heworth and Sunderland, bus replacement 901 between Sunderland and South Hylton.
Ticket acceptance on Go North East and Stagecoach buses in the affected area continues.
Trains are running to all other destinations but not to usual timetable.
Due to a technical fault the information boards on platforms are not working.
We are working to fix the problem as quickly as possible and will update you further once the issue has been resolved.
