(06 Apr 2017, 9:37 am)Michael wrote Train service suspended between Wallsend and North Shields due to an overhead line issue at Howdon. A bus replacement service is in operation. Additionally, Go North East bus services 1, 42 and 310 are accepting Metro tickets.
Trains running to all other destinations subject to a 20 minute delay in some areas.
Please leave extra time for your journey.
Anyone know who's operating the bus replacement service?

Tyne and Wear Metro
Trains are now running between South Shields and Gateshead Stadium but with up to 30 mins delays due to problem with the overhead line.
Seems daft that the 310 and 42 are accepting tickets. 42 only serves wallsend metro, howdon and north shields. 310 on north shields and meadowell. Would be better the 11 accepting them.
6116,6117,6031 and 3972 operated emergency metro replacements last night.
