RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Aaron21 - 21 Jun 2022 Arriva are to help run the 901 alongside Stagecoach on 25th/26th June RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Aaron21 - 23 Jun 2022 Looks like there isn't going to be a metro replacement between St James & Tynemouth for the two week closure RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Aaron21 - 29 Jun 2022 Bit of an odd metro replacement contract has popped up for Jh. South Gosforth to Gateshead Stadium from the 7th of August for one day RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Rob44 - 13 Jul 2022 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/metro-park-ride-sites-3m-24474784 3.2 million to be spent upgrading P&R sites in hope that people will...... well.... Park and ride! RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 13 Jul 2022 (13 Jul 2022, 2:52 pm)Rob44 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/metro-park-ride-sites-3m-24474784How long will it be before representatives from bus operators complain about not getting any of that funding? RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - omnicity4659 - 13 Jul 2022 I wish car parking could be paid for with a Pop card, so you tap in and out at a car park validator instead of/in addition to platform ones. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Storx - 13 Jul 2022 (13 Jul 2022, 2:52 pm)Rob44 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/metro-park-ride-sites-3m-24474784 Bet a large chunk of that will be going on fixing N'land Park the top floors have been shut for over a year now since the local yobs smashed all the glass on the stairs. Wouldn't park in it personally, it's not safe and a few lights and CCTV won't change that. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 19 Aug 2022 Not long to go now until the 12 week closure on the South Shields branch. From the Nexus website: Monday, 12 September 2022 - Metro Flow Major Line Closure RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 19 Aug 2022 (19 Aug 2022, 9:03 am)Adrian Not long to go now until the 12 week closure on the South Shields branch. Noticed that it mentions, Metro replacement buses will have Pink branding on side of tbe buses. "Look out for the pink branding on the sides of the bus. You can use your travel pass on the bus and the driver will be selling tickets" RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DeltaMan - 19 Aug 2022 (19 Aug 2022, 10:09 am)Michael Noticed that it mentions, Metro replacement buses will have Pink branding on side of tbe buses.Let's hope nobody is colourblind. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Storx - 19 Aug 2022 (19 Aug 2022, 9:03 am)Adrian Not long to go now until the 12 week closure on the South Shields branch. Don't see the point in that X900, it's not much quicker. They would've been much better off doing a: Fellgate -> Simonside -> Chichester -> South Shields (similar route to X20) or Howdon -> Jarrow -> Chichester -> South Shields services instead and offer people to get places without sitting on a bus for unnecessary time and utilise the Metro that already runs in the area, especially as no doubt it'll be jammed between Heworth and Jarrow via Pelaw. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Malarkey - 21 Aug 2022 I was having a think about our local metro routes and if in there current form and timetable are viable long term or could some improvements be made to have the region better connected across the entire network, so I have came up with the following suggestions: The Green/Yellow Routes remain as they are however operating on a reduced frequency to better match current demand and to allow the introduction of new Pink/Blue/Red and Orange Routes which are combinations of the existing Green/Yellows with each service operating Every 30 Minutes Monday to Sunday Daytimes and Hourly in the Evening after 8pm. Current Green Route - Airport - Callerton Parkway - Bank Foot - Kingston Park - Fawdon - Wansbeck Road - Regent Centre - South Gosforth - Illford Road - West Jesmond - Jesmond - Haymarket - Monument - Central Station - Gateshead - Gateshead Stadium - Felling - Heworth - Pelaw - Fellgate - Brockley Whins - East Boldon - Seaburn - Stadium Of Light - St.Peter's - Sunderland - Park Lane - University - Millfield - Pallion - South Hylton Current Yellow Route - St.James - Manors - Byker - Chillingham Road - Walkergate - Wallsend - Hadrian Road - Howden - Percy Main - Meadow Well - North Shields - Tynemouth - Cullercoats - Whitley Bay - Monkseaton - West Monkseaton - Shiremoor - Northumberland Park - Palmersville - Benton - Four Lane Ends - Longbenton - South Gosforth - Illford Road - West Jesmond - Jesmond - Haymarket - Monument - Central Station - Gateshead - Gateshead Stadium - Felling - Heworth – Pelaw - Hebburn - Jarrow - Bede - Simonside - Tyne Dock - Chichester - South ShIelds New Blue Route - Airport - Callerton Parkway - Bank Foot - Kingston Park - Fawdon - Wansbeck Road - Regent Centre - South Gosforth - Illford Road - West Jesmond - Jesmond - Haymarket - Monument - Central Station - Gateshead - Gateshead Stadium - Felling - Heworth - Pelaw - Hebburn - Jarrow - Bede - Simonside - Tyne Dock - Chichester - South ShIelds New Pink Route - Airport - Callerton Parkway - Bank Foot - Kingston Park - Fawdon - Wansbeck Road - Regent Centre – Longbenton – Four Lane Ends – Benton – Palmersville – Northumberland Park – Shiremoor – West Monkseaton – Monkseaton – Whitley Bay – Cullercoats – Tynemouth – North Shields – Meadow Well – Percy Main – Howden – Hadrian Road – Wallsend – Walkergate – Chillingham Road – Byker – Manors – St.James New Red Route - St.James - Manors - Byker - Chillingham Road - Walkergate - Wallsend - Hadrian Road - Howden - Percy Main - Meadow Well - North Shields - Tynemouth - Cullercoats - Whitley Bay - Monkseaton - West Monkseaton - Shiremoor - Northumberland Park - Palmersville - Benton - Four Lane Ends - Longbenton - South Gosforth - Illford Road - West Jesmond - Jesmond - Haymarket - Monument - Central Station - Gateshead - Gateshead Stadium - Felling - Heworth - Pelaw - Hebburn - Jarrow - Bede - Simonside - Tyne Dock - Chichester - South ShIelds New Orange Route - St.James - Manors - Byker - Chillingham Road - Walkergate - Wallsend - Hadrian Road - Howden - Percy Main - Meadow Well - North Shields - Tynemouth - Cullercoats - Whitley Bay - Monkseaton - West Monkseaton - Shiremoor - Northumberland Park - Palmersville - Benton - Four Lane Ends - Longbenton - South Gosforth - Illford Road - West Jesmond - Jesmond - Haymarket - Monument - Central Station - Gateshead - Gateshead Stadium - Felling - Heworth – Pelaw - Fellgate - Brockley Whins - East Boldon - Seaburn - Stadium Of Light - St.Peter's - Sunderland - Park Lane - University - Millfield - Pallion - South Hylton RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Storx - 22 Aug 2022 (21 Aug 2022, 7:37 pm)Malarkey I was having a think about our local metro routes and if in there current form and timetable are viable long term or could some improvements be made to have the region better connected across the entire network, so I have came up with the following suggestions: It's too complicated that imo. This would be better imo: St James - Pelaw, Every 10 Minutes Monkseaton - South Shields, Every 10 Minutes Regent Centre - Pelaw / Park Lane (Peaks), Every 20 Minutes Airport - South Hylton, Every 20 Minutes Means you'd have the following frequencies Airport - Regent Centre, 3 TPH Regent Centre - South Gosforth, 6 TPH South Gosforth - Monkseaton, 12 TPH Monkseaton - St James, 6 TPH South Gosforth - Pelaw, 18 TPH Pelaw - South Shields, 6 TPH Pelaw - Park Lane, 3 TPH (Day) / 6 TPH (Peak) Park Lane - South Hylton, 3 TPH Northern Trains, Newcastle - Middlesbrough, 2 TPH It means the core sections have a frequent service during the day and the not so busy areas (South Hylton / Airport) have the service they really need. Both ends of the route are dead most the time.
