There are delays to service between South Shields and The Coast due to passenger loadings after the football match this evening.
Almost as bad as that rush hour traffic in Stanley on a Sunday morning.
I do agree though. Just another in a long list of Metro excuses. There's been football matches with that sort of crowd (50,000) for the past 13 years, and it's never been a problem. Most likely covering up that they've had to pull a train out of service.
