Tyne and Wear Metro
We are making minor temporary changes to the Metro timetable from Monday 29 July for one week. Some train services between Pelaw- Regent Centre/Monkseaton/South Gosforth will not run.
There has been a series of problems over the past fortnight, caused by various unrelated incidents, resulting in disruption to services. We apologise for that and to ensure a more reliable service in future we have taken the decision to remove some services from the timetable temporarily, meaning the trains will get more time in the depot for maintenance, helping us to improve resilience, so should a train fail, we have replacements ready to go.
The vast majority of Metro customers will not notice a change to services. However, passengers who rely on specific trains on the stretch of line between Regent Centre/Monkseaton and Pelaw should click on this link to find out if their usual service has been affected by the changes

Brilliant - I love it!
Our service has become far too unreliable, so we'll cut some services rather than fix the issue.
