Northern trains and Metros cancelled despite RMT rail strike being called off

Northern trains connecting Northumberland, Newcastle, Sunderland and County Durham were cancelled on Monday despite the rail strike being called off.

Monday's timetable changes left no way of travelling by rail or Metro between Newcastle and Sunderland, with all Northern trains between the two cities cancelled and no Metros between Pelaw and South Hylton.

Passengers on Northern trains to Newcastle and Sunderland from the likes of Morpeth, Hexham the Metrocentre and Seaham can expect further disruption with scaled-down timetables in place on Tuesday November 8 and Thursday November 10 too.
