(21 Aug 2022, 11:44 pm)Rapidsnap wrote Nexus have revealed the timetables for the services during Metro Flow Closure.

It states that the replacement bus services will carry pink signage on the sides of the vehicles (no doubt using the advert frames) to show it's working on the Metro Replacement.

Frequency for the services are....

X900 (Heworth - Jarrow - South Shields) - Journey Time: 36 Minutes Heworth to South Shields, 32 Minutes South Shields to Heworth.
Every Day - Every 24 minutes - PVR 3

900 (Heworth - All Stops - South Shields) - Journey Time: 53 Minutes Heworth to South Shields, 45 Minutes South Shields to Heworth.
Mon - Fri Peak - Every 6 Minutes - PVR 18
Mon - Fri Off-Peak - Every 12 Minutes - PVR 9
Mon - Fri Evening - Every 15 Minutes - PVR 6
Saturday Daytime - Every 12 Minutes - PVR 9
Saturday Evening - Every 15 Minutes - PVR 6
Sunday All Day - Every 15 Minutes - PVR 6

So at peak hours Mon to Fri, if all Enviro 400s are reliable, 21 of the 23 shall be in service during peak hours Mon to Fri.

So all of the 900/X900 journeys will be operated with Go North East corporate livery Enviro400s? Are there any other Metro replacements coming up? Go North East will now always use corporate livery Enviro400s for scholars and Metro replacement?

Can Metro tickets be purchased on the buses or just at the stations?
