It has been confirmed (4 minutes ago) that a train travelling between Heworth and Felling has hit a person. Service is suspended between Gateshead Stadium and Pelaw to allow the Emergency Services a safe working area.
Thoughts go out to all involved including the Driver, Public on the train and Emergency Service Personnel.
If you intend to travel between these areas I would suggest making alternative arrangements, Busses 27,57,58 & 93 accepting metro tickets between Pelaw and Gateshead.
I will update as and when I get suitable information.
Update from Tyne and Wear Metro..
Services have been suspended Gateshead Stadium - Pelaw due to a police incident. Ticket acceptance on buses 27, 57, 58, 93 and we have requested for 2 replacement buses.
Latest update - ''No trains Gateshead - Pelaw due to a fatality between Felling and Heworth. Ticket acceptance on buses 27, 57, 58, 93.''
So sad
