Nexus aim to have Haymarket Metro Station fully reopened by the end of this week after it returned to exit only on Tuesday.
Trains had not been stopping at Haymarket Metro Station from Friday last week due to all three of the station's escalators being out of service. One is out of service for a "total renewal" while the other two had faults, one of which has been repaired, meaning that the station could reopen as exit only on Tuesday morning.
Nexus chiefs plan to have the station fully opened by the end of the week. Until then, Metro passengers can board city centre trains at Central Station or Monument, or board just outside of the centre at Jesmond.

A Nexus spokesperson said: "We aim to have Haymarket Metro Station fully re-opened by the end of the week. We are sorry for the inconvenience that this issue is causing for our customers at one of our busiest city centre Metro stations.
"Haymarket was closed completely due to all three of the station’s escalators being out of service. One of the escalators is out of use because of a long term renewal project, while the other two have subsequently developed faults.
"On Tuesday morning we got one of the escalators back into service, allowing us to partially re-open Haymarket as an exit only station for customers to alight at. We aim to get the second escalator back into service later this week, meaning that the station can re-open as usual."
