Haymarket Metro Station exit only after escalator "develops fault"

Passengers boarding the Tyne and Wear Metro are being advised to use Central Station and Monument as Haymarket is exit only.

Currently, only one escalator is working in the station as one is undergoing a complete renewal and the other developed a fault on Sunday night.

The fault on the second escalator became apparent at about 10pm on Sunday evening, shortly after the station was closed due to someone falling on said escalator. However, the two issues are not thought to be connected.
