Tyne and Wear Metro
A train has been withdrawn from service at South Gosforth. Due to this we have a gap in the service of up to 40 mins to trains running between South Gosforth and Airport. Please leave extra time for your journey if you're travelling in the area.
Glad I didn't go out today!

There are no trains running between Sunderland and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. Stagecoach are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 8 operate between Sunderland and South Hylton. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Haha this is getting beyond a joke now.

At least they got the service number right this time!
In previous instances where there has been an issue on that stretch of the system, they've quoted the wrong Stagecoach services...

God sake, beyond a joke now.
Maybe they would want to add minor disruption on for the entire network, just to make everyone happy.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DanPicken - 16 Feb 2015
I got stuck on 4051 for 20 minutes at Park Lane which had it's heating on full. Then goty off that let 4040 and 4045 go then endured 30 mins waiting as the 13:58 was a no show. Metros are all using Platform 3 only and Northern Rail using Platform 1 only.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 16 Feb 2015
Today at Monument I noticed there was a long wait for a Airport train. The boards said something like:
1 - South Shields 5m
2 - South Shields 18m
3 - South Gosforth 22m
4 - Airport 27m
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 16 Feb 2015
Update:
There are no trains running between Park Lane and South Hylton in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 901, calling at or near to all stations between Park Lane and South Hylton. Trains between Pelaw and Park Lane operating at a reduced frequency. We will update you once we have more information.
Looks like its gonna be a long day for people getting home!

There wasn't a train for at least 30 minutes from Monument towards Airport at about 13:30.
Not really acceptable, and they were curtailing some trains at South Gosforth too.

Metro still off between Park Lane and South Hylton.
Has anyone got a spare 20p for the meter?

Looks like an issue on Network Rail's infrastructure, judging by this post.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 16 Feb 2015
Will be intresting to see the reaction if its still off in the morning!
