Metro passengers will see disruption to their journeys for two weekends as lines are set to close for essential replacement works, ahead of new trains arriving.
The major upgrades mean there will be no service this weekend (January 21-22) between Four Lane Ends and South Gosforth, and South Gosforth to Airport. And from February 11-12 no trains will run between Four Lane Ends and Haymarket.
Stadler, the Swiss train manufacturer who are building the new Metro depot on behalf of Nexus, need to replace track, overhead lines and signals at the eastern end of the depot site. Nexus, which runs the Metro, will also be carrying out improvement works.
