There are no trains running between St James and North Shields in both directions until further notice. This is due to signalling problems.
We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 900, calling at or near to all stations between St James and North Shields. Please purchase tickets from the ticket machine at the station as there is no facility to pay on the bus.
Two cable repairs are underway, our engineers have advised the repairs are taking longer than first thought, it is now estimated they will not be completed until after 6pm. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
