Nexus are the ones to blame - timetable, as usual, a work of fiction…..
As for Arriva not bidding for any Metro work since - after that farce, would you?

It was a farce , dead right and given the stupid idea of serving Gateshead Stadium instead of the stop on Sunderland Road. I wasn't aware of any road works, but it was dark. I don't blame Arriva for not bidding again, but as a reluctant passenger you can image I was not at all amused!
