    Heap of ****e like!

    Use the park and ride at Northumberland Park as work near central. Finish work at 3pm go to get the metro and they are off due to overhead cable faults...

    I really don't get how they always seem to fail like sure the underground in London doesn't fail constantly?

    Overhead cables apparently physically came down at hebburn, and that’s knocked the whole system off, what a joke

    Luckily I was able to get a bus from Haymarket to Cobalt then walk to car...

    At least it wasn't raining or would have been raging.

    The system is a shambles . Unreliable and not fit for purpose.

    it
    It does but H&S would never allow those differing height levels from the underground trains to normal stations, anywhere else in the UK
