From Nexus website:
Metro services are suspended across the network due to a signalling system fault.
The problem, which occurred in the Metro control room in South Gosforth, means that signals are not working and trains cannot operate to any part of the system.
Passengers are advised to find alternative modes of travel. Metro tickets are being accepted on all local bus services.
Nexus are working to rectify the fault as quickly as possible.
A Nexus spokesman said: “A fault with our Rail Traffic Management System means that we are unable to operate any trains across the Metro network until further notice. This is affecting all of the signals across our network. This occurred at around 10.35am today.
“All trains on the network are at a standstill until this problem is resolved.
“Passengers are advised to seek alternative modes of travel.
“We’re sorry for the inconvenience and disruption this is causing to passengers.”ITV Tyne Tees also reporting the story.
What gets me is will Metro be compensating those that are stranded on Metrocars across the network that miss flights or train connections?
