Metro timetable changes to early morning services

Metro passengers are being reminded to check journey times as a new timetable comes into place affecting early morning services from this morning.

Nexus say an increased demand from passengers means they have introduced early morning weekday services from Sunderland, South Shields and North Tyneside stations.

They also say they'll be able to provide a better evening peak service on one of Metro’s busiest corridors, between Pelaw and Monkseaton.

Full information on the new timetable can also be found at www.nexus.org.uk and by using the North East journey planner on the website.
