Engineering work in Sunderland?

[142094]

Some of the timetables are showing engineering work (or some sort of disruption) taking place on Sundays in the Sunderland area - which I cannot find info about (unless I've missed it).

Well I hope they all show it! Northern Rail's 11 Dec 2011-13 May 2012 timetable booklet shows there's no Northern service between Sunderland and Newcastle on any Sunday 19 Feb-25 Mar inclusive.

Metro is still running though; so I assume whatever it is, it must be happening between Pelaw & Newcastle.

The timetables show it but can't see it anywhere on National Rail. There is new rail in the 4 foot in the Heworth area, but looks as if they'll be sending them via the Metro as you say. But very strange that there are no posters warning of this at Heworth station.

I guess because it's not a service alteration. It was shown in the December timetable booklet - and I assume it's on the timetable posters at stations too.

Yep, engineering between Pelaw and Newcastle. Meaning GC's ECS runs are diverted via Durham, Darlington, Eaglescliffe and Hartlepool!
