Edit: Just in responce to Tom's post - I believe Metro are now puttng extra xmas services now which terminates at Sunderland/Pelaw/South Gosforth and Regent Centre so that what you may of saw or it could be one of the extra football special trains.
I did wonder, as I saw another train terminating at Sunderland this evening coming home too.
Have these services been advertised? If not, it may have been worthwhile for them to make customers aware of the extra trains... May perhaps gain some positive comments instead of the usual flow of negativity on their Social Media pages.
I was disrupted this evening too. After alighting a South Shields bound train at Felling, there was three Sunderland/South Hylton bound trains in a row due after that within minutes of each other.
