    Horden (Peterlee) Station now open

    Horden now down as an Unadvertised Station Stop on Durham Coast services on RTT from 24th May. I'm assuming the station is being opened that morning and is why there is buses Newcastle to Hartlepool that morning.

    Tyne and Wear Metro May 2020 Timetable Changes

    From 18th May, Metro are altering their timetable slightly, with daytime South Hylton bound trains running 2 minutes earlier than now, and Airports moved a minute later, which at Sunderland allows a more clock face service to Newcastle of xx00, xx12, xx24 etc. I'm assuming Yellow Line trains...

    New Tyne and Wear Metro timetable from 13 October 2019

    The lack of drivers is rather worrying, 4 missing evening peak services too, and now TRB110 missing on the Green Line. I feel for the staff on the Twitter page, they can't be having a good quality of life atm, they seem to come into work daily to be given constant abuse from passengers for...

    New Tyne and Wear Metro timetable from 13 October 2019
