From September this year, the busy Tyne and Wear Metro line from Pelaw to South Shields is to close for 12 weeks.
It's a result of the £100m Metro Flow project, which will see Nexus, which manages the system, upgrade and electrify an existing freight line.
Because the closure will inevitably cause major disruption for passengers on the route, a series of drop-in sessions will be held at the stations affected. As well as Pelaw and South Shields a further six stations on the line are affected at Hebburn, Jarrow, Bede, Simonside, Tyne Dock and Chichester.
