RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 04 Nov 2021
I've not seen it mentioned so...
Just caught sight of an email to say that the P&R sites at the various Metro stations are offering free parking in the lead up to Christmas.
Someone may want to do some digging and see if they can find a link.

If there is metro replacements how do you pay for your tickets?
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - omnicity4659 - 26 Nov 2021

Depends on the type of maintenance, for the major line closures they'll fence off the station and offer the full range of Metro tickets on the bus, for short term closures/emergency replacements you purchase them from the Metro ticket machines.

You can buy them on the bus, but if you happen to be walking past the station on the way to get the bus, I'd recommend getting the tickets at the machines still as it speeds up the process, and will mean less delays on the bus.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Train8261 - 26 Nov 2021
Metro services have been suspended and blocked lines between Wallsend & Shiremoor.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - omnicity4659 - 26 Nov 2021
For the sake of clarity, Metro services are suspended systemwide.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - omnicity4659 - 27 Nov 2021
Yellow line (St James to South Shields) is anticipated to reopen tomorrow, whilst the green line (Airport to South Hylton) will remain closed.
Metro have ran a test train to South Hylton within the last couple of hours however this has since brought the wires down and the engineers are too busy working on the ECML at the moment.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - V514DFT - 02 Dec 2021
Whats peoples views on the total new metros being 46,im a bit 'hmmmm' on that figure,another not,looks like (what i presume) is 555001 is well underway (yes its confirmed they're Class number is 555),also any actual info on why the Willington Dene Bridge is still 30kmph (apart from it being old) 3 and a half years later,so much for temporary speed limit
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - omnicity4659 - 03 Dec 2021
They only need 36 trains for the current full timetable. More than enough, especially for the planned increased service to South Shields.

Love the Gazette's headline:
Metro and Shields Ferry passengers face ticket price hikes - here's how some can dodge paying extra
Does that mean we'll see the return of Checkywatch?

Metro service suspension from late afternoon Saturday 19 February until the morning of Sunday 20 February, due to an industrial relations matter in our Control Centre
All Metro services will be suspended from about 5.20pm on Saturday. Service will restart from around 8.15am on Sunday 20 February. Please seek alternative arrangements if you need to travel during these times. Metro tickets will be accepted on local buses while the service is suspended. For help planning your bus journey use the Journey Planner nexus.org.uk/jplanner. We're sorry for the inconvenience this will cause.

Although it is still believed that the first of the new trains will arrive in November, a delay to some subsequent deliveries is now expected. It is still hoped they will all arrive by the end of 2024 but this is less promising now.

Quote:From September this year, we’re closing the Metro line from Pelaw to South Shields for 12 weeks.Which company is operating the cover inbetween the section of Pelaw & South Shields ?
It’s for our Metro Flow project, where we’ll be upgrading and electrifying an existing freight line, meaning we can run more Metros, more frequently.
Or what the PVR is?

I read somewhere that it is a PVR of 22 and some spare with the Euro 5 min - surly Stanley Travel & JH will only be able to provide 5 each max
