Metro services in Sunderland suspended due to overhead power issue

Metro services between Park Lane and South Hylton are suspended due to an overhead power issue.

A Nexus spokes person said: “No trains are currently running between Park Lane and South Hylton in either direction due to a power supply problem on Network Rail. You can use your Metro tickets, passes and pop cards on Stagecoach services 8,10,11,16, and 20.

“A limited Metro replacement bus service will be in operation also, calling at or near stations in the affected area.

“A reduced 24 minute service between Pelaw and Park Lane will also be in operation.
