Got nothing on those Jarrow Crusaders that come through Heworth on a Daily Basis, and then you have those Rough ones that are night all there from Pelaw and Hebburn thrown in the Mix as well.

oh dear....
There are currently no trains running systemwide due to a major power outage. We'll update you as soon as we have more information. We're sorry for the delay to your journey.

This is why I don't use the Metro anymore - much more reliable to use the Coaster, as everytime I try to use it the timetable has gone to pot and I'm left waiting 15 minutes for a train!

Not heard of Nexus and there Amazing Metro Minutes, whereby there ahead of time so 2 Trains are due on the same Platform at the same time, Obviously Today someone has majorly screwed up.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 15 Aug 2014
Adam, you'd stand no chance of getting on the Metro with a bike as has already been pointed out.
Guy got on with one on Felling and the driver came out with "No bikes on the Metro. Get off now please." over the announcements.

oh well, looks like my plan is dead in the water.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 21 Aug 2014
Next train display at Gateshead Stadium...
1. Pelaw - 7 (minutes)
2. South Hylton - 6 (minutes)
And then it shot down to 'Due' for the Pelaw one, 30 seconds before it arrived. Crazy.

My theory is that there's been an attempted coup on a Metro car by a flock of pigeons.

Are there works on the north side of the river somewhere?
No idea if the two are connected

Shiremoor and North Shields I think, but they first posted about these "operational issues" yesterday late afternoon.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 26 Aug 2014
Chichester is closed and trains will not be stopping at this station until further notice. This is due to flooding. We will update you once we have more information.

There will be a link somewhere, but the RAIB are investigating an incident that happened on a St James train a few weeks back.
There was damage to both train and infrastructure.

Good news!
There are delays of up to 15 mins to trains running between South Hylton and Airport due to a train being withdrawn from service.
