Metro and bus schedules across the North East this Bank Holiday weekend

May marks the first month of the year when we get to enjoy two Bank Holidays, although the two additional days are expected to cause disruption to local residents across the North East.

This is how the second Bank Holiday Monday of the month will impact local transport.

Tyne and Wear Metro bank holiday timetable

Over Saturday and Sunday the system will run to schedule while a revised Sunday timetable frequency will be running on Monday, May 26.

The first four trains scheduled to run between South Shields and Pelaw and Pelaw to South Shields will not be running with a 900 repalcement bus running between South Shields and Heworth.

This is unrelated to the series of works taking place throughout May to improve services across the system.
