Metro services are to be suspended on a major Tyneside route after a section of rail was found to have broken at Gosforth.
The Tyne and Wear Metro route between South Gosforth and Four Lane Ends will be closed from 6pm on Thursday to allow for emergency repairs to a broken rail.
Nexus, the public body which owns and operates Metro, said the works were vital and needed to be carried out as soon as possible in the interests of safety.
