RE: Pricing
If you're going one stop on the Metro then you should really be walking.

Not sure about that, North Shields to Tynemouth, Cullercoats to Tynemouth, Gateshead to Central, Hebburn to Jarrow, Kingston Park to Fawdon are all reasonable enough journeys and I bet there's a few who do it. Obviously if your doing Haymarket to Monument you're a bit odd. |

Shouldn't they have been converted prior to use on service work? The company have essentially been actively discriminating against wheelchair-bound customers for close to 2 years at this point.

Aye can't argue about that, personally I'd wish they'd put barriers at every station. I believe you can legally run them remote nowadays, sure one of the railways down South does it, South Eastern?, would help with the trouble in some places aswell. Obviously some will jump them but it would go a long way or at least have them at more of the main stations; Wallsend, Byker, Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, Chichester, Jarrow etc so it's pretty much useless without paying - even if it's child tickets. |

RE: Pricing
They could just enforce ticket checks on metro and claw revenue back or actively discourage it
I regularly use metro link in Manchester and every journey without fail, there’s a check (I always forget which bloody card I’ve used) especially through the central belt
Wistfully stuck in the 90s

The barriers don't let you exit automatically with child tickets. A member of staff would have to let you through. |
