All day on Saturday 17 October no trains will run between Airport and Regent Centre to allow for work on the track. A replacement bus service 900 will be running. Metro tickets and passes will be accepted on the bus and tickets can be purchased from the driver (please try to have the correct change).
The level crossing at Kingston Park and Fawdon will be closed to pedestrians and road vehicles all day Saturday 17, Sunday 18, re-opening at 5.00am on Monday 19 October. Alternative crossing points for pedestrians are available at both level crossings (about a 20-25 minute walk), but there will be a shuttle bus service (Kingston Park shuttle and Fawdon shuttle) to take you by road to the opposite side of the tracks if the alternative walking route is not suitable.
Trains will be running to all other areas but may not be to the usual timetable. Check bus and train times before travelling and leave extra time for your journey. For help planning your journey call 0191 20 20 747 (lines open Monday-Friday 9.00am-5.00pm).
