Undecided, not a nice sight for people on the metro or the platform.

Very sad, what can drive a person to do that Sad
Awful for the driver especially, also it must be upsetting for the passengers Sad


RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - NK53 TKT - 12 Oct 2015

Was on the Metro and was locked in at South Gosforth this morning, the train failed and the driver tried turning the lights off for the train to work, it failed, not great to have two failed trains in a morning

I can laugh this morning, don't get the Metro on Friday's. Through the week I have given up on using the metro from South Gosforth to Longbenton, now use the 32


RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 25 Oct 2015

23:55pm......

North Shields is closed and trains will not be stopping at this station until further notice. This is due to a problem with the power supply. We will update you once we have more information.

Does the metro run this late on a Sunday on that line?.


RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - idiot - 29 Oct 2015

Haymarket closed due to fire alarm.


RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 29 Oct 2015

Metro journeys are at a five-year high, say bosses

If they build a new metro station, it absolutely must have that name. It's a thing of beauty Big Grin


RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 30 Oct 2015

There are no trains running between Pelaw and Brockley Whins in both directions until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. Go North East are accepting Metro tickets in the affected area. Bus services 5, 9, 27 operate between Heworth and Jarrow. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
