Update: The Metro reopening has been delayed by "up to one week".
It's been nearly two months since you could get a Metro to or from South Shields, but there is not long left until the track is due to reopen.
Nexus says the Metro Flow project that has shutdown the line is "making great progress". Once complete, the work to install and electrify new sections of track will allow for more trains, improved reliability and quicker journey times, Nexus promises.
