Repairs to take seven days to fix serious Metro fault caused by flood damage in Sunderland

Trains remain unable to run past Park Lane on the Metro due to flood damage at a Network Rail substation on the Sunderland line.

Network Rail engineers are assessing the damage to determine a timescale for repairs, but it is expected to take at least seven days.

Tyne and Wear Metro are operating a 24-minute service between Pelaw and Park Lane, with no trains travelling to University, Millfield, Pallion or South Hylton stations. A 20 minute service will operate on Sunday, as normal.
