Travel on Metro and Newcastle-Sunderland train services for just £12 a year with a Metro Gold Card! If you live in Tyne and Wear and have a Concessionary Travel Pass, you can travel for free on Metro from 9.30am Monday to Friday and all day at weekends and on public holidays if you buy a Metro Gold Card. If you do not have a Metro Gold Card, or you are travelling before 9.30am Monday to Friday, you must pay the full adult fare. Metro Gold Card is also valid on Northern Rail services between Newcastle and Sunderland from 9.30am Monday to Friday, and all day at weekends and on public holidays. If you need to travel before 9.30am in order to get to a hospital appointment, just show your hospital appointment card or letter with your CT Pass and Metro Gold Card when requested, to travel free of charge. If you have an All Day CT pass, because you are disabled and attend work or college for at least 15 hours a week, your Metro Gold Card will also be valid All Day.
For full details of how to apply for a Metro Gold Card see the application forms below. Renewing your Metro Gold Card
In late March 2010, we will send a letter to everybody whose card is due to expire on 30 April 2010. You can complete the renewal form and post it back to us with a cheque and stamped return envelope, or, from 1 April, you can renew your Metro Gold Card in a Nexus TravelShop (between 10.00am and 3.00pm only please). Please note that Metro Gold Cards can no longer be purchased via metrogoldcard.co.uk. You will be able to buy them online from this site later in 2010 - full details will appear here.
