Huge section of Tyne and Wear Metro to shut down completely for five days in February

A huge section of the Tyne and Wear Metro is set to be closed down for five days next month.

It has been revealed that no trains will run between Tynemouth and St James stations, one of the busiest parts of the network, while engineers carry out a major set of modernisation works to prepare for the arrival of the Metro’s new £362m fleet.

The extensive closure will be in place from Monday, February 21 to Friday, February 25.
