Metro services between Monkseaton and North Shields will not run until at least the end of this week, as Whitley Bay station remains closed due to storm damage.
A glass panel fell from the roof inside the station during Storm Otto last week, and further inspections of the Grade II listed canopy have revealed damage in an area directly over the Metro line.
Engineers are working to secure the canopy, and replacement bus service, 900, is operating in the affected area while work continues. There is also Metro ticket acceptance on local bus routes 51, 53, 54, 57, 306 and 308.
