The system had been running to all destinations subject to delay after a previous suspension in Sunderland and South Tyneside.

A points failure occurred near Pelaw at 6.40am, which meant no trains could get on the track for just over an hour.

However trains were then back up and running in Sunderland subject to delay due to a reduced service because of train availability in the cold.

Transport bosses are still advising people to travel only if absolutely necessary.
