Not sure if there's a replacement bus service or not, as I haven't checked their Social Media pages.
There are also issues from East Boldon onwards. Passengers were advised to get off the the Metro due 12 minutes prior and were told they could get a bus, but no specific information was given to suggest which bus to get, according to many disgruntled customers.
There was a Metro Replacement bus between Sunderland and South Hylton earlier, which has since been extended to East Boldon. Looks like I was lucky today by managing to actually get to/from the Stadium of Light!
