RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - South Tyne Lad - 14 May 2017
Around 22:45 last night at Seaburn, A Man was struck by Train 112 heading towards South Hylton, There's a few news articles around. Thoughts are with his Family.
Service was suspended for the rest of the evening with some trains not getting back to Pelaw ( Including the fateful train ) Until 1:00am, I presume most units were stabled there for the evening.
Freaky to think I was on the same metrocar only a few hours before.

Where'd the flooding come from? I haven't noticed much rain recently... a complete lack of it!

Go North East accepting Metro tickets on services 9 (Jarrow - Sunderland), 27 (Heworth - Jarrow), 56 (Gateshead - Sunderland) and X36 (Heworth - Sunderland). They are also running a Metro Replacement bus service between Heworth and Sunderland with 3889, 5421 and 6084.
Not a good day for the folk of Sunderland travelling home tonight, with long tailbacks on the A1231 and A19 due to a Sunderland Council bin wagon breaking down in the middle lane on the A19/A1231 roundabout.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 27 May 2017

There are no trains running between Pelaw and Sunderland in both directions until further notice . This is due to signalling problems.
Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area on bus services 9, 27, X36 and 56.
We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Due to a police incident we have a line closure between Sunderland and East Boldon. Passengers at Sunderland Station are advised to listen closely to the tannoy announcements for the platform and train they need to reach their destination.
We are currently working on arranging ticket acceptance. Once I have more information I will update. Thank you for your patience.

Vicious circle. From my point of view, the bullet has to be bitten as if more and more failures occur, public trust into the system will be withdrawn further and nobody will be there to travel, and therefore pay for, the new fleet...!
