South Tyneside Metro users to be impacted by nine-day closure
Nexus is warning South Tyneside Tyne and Wear Metro users of a nine-day closure period.
South Tyneside Tyne and Wear Metro users travelling towards the Airport are being warned of a nine-day line closure as Nexus looks to carry out improvement work.
From Saturday, August 15, the Metro system between South Gosforth and Airport will be shut - with the line reopening on the morning of Monday, August 24.
The closure is in place to allow for track renewal, station upgrades, cable repair work and lineside estate management.
Anyone needing to travel through the impacted zone will be able to use a replacement bus service, which will call at or close to all affected Metro stations.
Nexus, the public body that manages the Tyne and Wear Metro system, has said that members of the public can visit https://travelnortheast.uk/travel-updates for the latest travel information.
