Metro services back running after points problem caused delays as snow hits North East
Metro passengers have been facing some delays this morning due to a points issue, but services are running to all destinations.
Met Office forecasters had warned of potential transport disruption this morning, but the North East network has been bearing up after days of planning by firms and public agencies.
Metro services were hit by a points problem this morning at Pelaw, but transport executive Nexus says trains are now up and running normally.
"The points at Pelaw are fixed. Trains are running to all destinations, they are frequent- not to timetable. Thank you for your patience," a statement from Metro read.
