What you said about Monday morning's Metro delays
The service reported a number of train faults early on Monday due to "severe weather" as the region woke up to minus temperatures, as well as frost, snow and ice.
Metro engineers were working to maintain and repair the affected trains, which were missing from service, so they could run today.

“Metro is running to all destinations but not to timetable.
"Passengers will notice trains feeling a lot busier due to the peak services not running. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.”
It was confirmed by the service's Twitter account (@My_Metro) early today that most trains were running within three minutes of timetable, following yesterday's delays.
