What is?

(06 Mar 2016, 6:00 am)DanPicken A 57 minute wait for a Metro.
Well obviously there is not a 57min wait for a metro, that train will never arrive as the service is suspended between Benton and North Shields., I'm not sure where that photo is taken but a train will pop up on the boards which is a lot closer when it leaves North Shields station. Thats the constant fault of Nexus in years and years gone by in that whenever there is a possession, instead of alterating the destinations, they leave it exactly the same thus you get situations appearing on the board like the one above! I know they trialled it for the major line closures but I don't understand why they don't follow it up, especially when Benton is listed in the destination blinds.

There are minor delays to trains running between Gateshead Stadium and Airport and The Coast due to a police incident. Please leave extra time for your journey.
According to someone on "Sort out the Metro" - Sitting at gateshead stadium as overhead lines have been turned off. Man threataning to jump off the bridge. Hope he is ok.

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - James101 - 09 Mar 2016
For all it's faults I do t think this has ever happened on the metro:
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/tram-gets-stuck-due-many-11012548
Driver asks pass passengers to move to the right of the tram as the weight on them all standing on the left is causing the carraige to become wedged to the platform!

There are no trains running between Jarrow and South Shields in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 27 operate between Jarrow and South Shields. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
