The service suspension has been shortened, no trains will run between St. Peters and South Hylton. This will be in place all day Saturday due to Network Rail overhead line repairs. A bus replacement, number 901 will be running in the affected area.
------------------------------
The signalling issues between St James and North Shields have now been resolved and trains will be running as normal this morning on this line. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Update:
From 8pm this evening the service suspension on the Sunderland line will be widened to allow Network Rail to assess damaged overhead lines. Trains will still run from Pelaw but will terminate at East Boldon. A bus replacement, 901, will continue running in the affected area.
