The electronic Passenger Information Displays between Fellgate and South Hylton are currently not working correctly. Trains are frequent and running to all destinations. Thank you for your patience while we work to fix the problem.

We are running a frequent service with trains running to all destinations but not to the usual timetable. This is due to low rail adhesion.

When we are running a good service the status will show as ‘No Metro disruptions’. Any delays (less than 15 minutes) to service will be announced via the station PA system and passenger information boards. If delays occur resulting in trains running more than 15 minutes later than advertised the status will be updated by an automatic travel alert system.
