The Metro eplacement bus service, number 900, will be calling at or close to all stations in the affected area throughout the time of the works.

Customers are advised to leave extra time for travel as their journeys will take longer using the replacement bus service, with further journey-planning advice available on the Nexus website.

Later this month, on Sunday, September 29, there will be a similar line closure between South Shields and Pelaw throughout the entire day for track maintenance in the area.
