Go North East period of strike action from Saturday 28 October for up to 12 weeks

UPDATE: (Friday 27 Oct 2023 @1300hrs) Go North East strike will go ahead, as union members voted in favour of further action.

Bus depots affected by the strike action are Consett, Gateshead, Hexham, Percy Main (North Shields), Sunderland and Washington.  This means it’s likely many Go North East bus services will not operate.

As a result of the strike action Metro services will be extremely busy as more bus customers look for alternative transport options. 

Please plan your journey in advance and allow additional time for travel. For help planning your journey use the Live Travel Map.
