I thought people weren't meant to park on the yellow ziggy-zaggy lines at Metro station car parks? Every other day I see a police van there, and they literally get on at Stadium of Light, go to Park Lane, cross over and then go back - repeating the process over and over again.
I saw two of them getting on at St. Peter's too, and there was a few over the Gateshead side of the green line when I was over there the other day.
I really can't see what this is achieving?
Oh yes, and there was about four police officers and about ten Nexus staff in Gateshead the other day - ticket barriers weren't activated or anything though...
Yeah, I don't get why they have police at the Metro stations? There was loads at Gateshead and Monument on some days when the gates first started going on. Surely there are some real crimes the police could be looking out for rather than a few chavs not paying for their ticket?
