Metro service will return on Sunderland line after National Rail strikes are called off

Metro services will operate as usual on the Sunderland line after services were suspended for two days during the past week.

Nexus, the public body which owns and manages the Tyne and Wear Metro, said it would be able to run trains between Pelaw and South Hylton on Wednesday as usual following the late withdrawal of strike action by Network Rail workers.

This comes after the suspension of services after the 'short notice postponement of RMT strike action' made it 'impossible' to reinstate services between Pelaw and South Hylton on Saturday, 5 November, or today, Monday 7 November.
