Tyne and Wear Metro is encouraging families to get out and about this February half term and enjoy the region’s variety of events and attractions.
Families can use Metro’s free adventure book, ‘Metro’s little book of things to see’, which is available from Nexus TravelShops and online to download from www.nexus.org.uk/metro/offers, to keep the kids entertained on their journey by looking out for animals, artworks and places across the Metro network, ticking them off as they spot them.
School holidays can often be an expensive time for parents, so Metro is also encouraging families to take advantage of its Pop Pay As You Go cards to help cut down on the cost of days out.
Pop Pay As You Go is an easy way to pay for transport across Tyne and Wear and is an ideal way for adults to travel around the region. Using a Pop Pay As You Go card saves passengers money on every trip they make on Metro, and the card can also be used to buy tickets on all local buses in North East England. To find out more about the Pop Pay As You Go card visit www.nexus.org.uk/pop/payg.
Metro Services Director, Chris Carson, said: “We are encouraging families to make the most of the school holidays and explore all the fantastic things the region has to offer. With 60 stations across Tyne and Wear you’re never far from a fun-filled day out.
“We also hope Metro customers will take advantage of our Pop Pay As You Go cards to help them save money so they can plan more days out during the February half term.”
