The Metro timetable is changing from Sunday 13 October. Nexus say it will provide more frequent services during peak travel periods.

The new timetable will mean:
• A network-wide regular 12 minute frequency from the first train to each Metro terminus.
• Morning and evening peak services running from Monkseaton to Pelaw will be increased.
• An evening peak Monkseaton to Longbenton service will be extended to Pelaw, due to feedback that Longbenton platform and existing services are busy at this time when the train currently terminates at Longbenton.
• The number of trains departing from St James in the afternoon peak will increase by two. Six services will depart between 4pm and 5pm compared with five currently. Departures between 5pm and 6pm will increase from four to five.
• On Saturdays an early morning train which currently starts service at South Gosforth will instead start at Benton, providing an earlier start to service from Benton.
• An additional trip between Longbenton and St James has been added on Saturday mornings when the service ramps up from a 15 minute to a 12 minute frequency.
