Five day Major Line Closure for improvement works Airport-Regent Centre, Wednesday 26 to Sunday 30 November 2025
During the line closure no trains will run between Airport and Regent Centre in both directions. The closure is needed so we can carry out track renewal work.
Replacement bus services
You'll still be able to make your journey as a replacement bus service number 901 will be running in both directions between Airport and Regent Centre. A replacement bus service 901 will also be running for a short time on the morning of 30 November between Heworth and South Hylton. Replacement bus timetables are listed below.
Metro tickets and passes will be valid on the replacement bus services. The replacement bus driver will also be selling tickets. If you use a smartcard, please remember to tap in and out at the start and end of your journey.
Your journey will take longer especially if transferring between different modes of transport so please leave extra time for travel and plan your journey in advance, especially if heading to the rugby match at Kingston Park.
Train services
During the line closure trains running will operate to a revised train timetable. Timetables are listed below.
