It seems that almost everybody, bar Nexus and DB, think that the Metro is an absolute joke. Only three days have I attempted to use it whilst I've been on leave over Christmas, and on each occasion there's been an issue. I feel sorry for the regular commuters.
I do wish that Nexus had kept their own discussion forum open, as some of the comments on there these days would be comical. Hopefully they'll just read through this thread instead.
It used to be brilliant, back in the day, too. Dirt cheap (just 20p from Felling to Newcastle when I moved there, as it was still heavily subsidised) and 3 trains every 10 minutes through the central bit, meaning that it was no hardship to let a train pass for a quieter one. I think it's suffered from expanding its range because it's never really increased its true capacity.
