Just received this from Nexus via email. Is South Shields now in Zone B - hadn’t realised there was a change.
Also it doesn’t include zone D are prices on Northumberland line web site still correct?

ℹ️Alterations to platforms used by Metro trains at Sunderland from Monday 17th February.
All Metro trains heading towards South Hylton will use Platform 1 from the 17th Feb.
Metro trains operating towards Airport via Newcastle will continue to use platform 3 as usual. ^ES
Any idea when next metro at Sunderland station towards Newcastle will arrive. Displays snd pop app don’t seem to be accurate?

For info ticket machine 20 on platform 1 at Shiremoor has a faulty orage reader. It’s saying pop card not valid for travel. Machine next to it is working ok.

Due to strong gusty winds and a yellow weather warning from the Met Office, we've had to cancel this evening’s New Year’s Eve fireworks on the Quayside at 6pm and midnight. Safety is our priority, and we thank you for understanding. We wish you all a very safe and happy New Year.

Update on the Gateshead Flyover and @My_Metro and it’s good news!
1. The Metro will run to all destinations from tomorrow! The absolute priority has been getting it back to normal and @gateshead have completed the emergency work on the flyover to enable this ahead of the expected timeline.
2. Metro will get back to normal on 2nd Jan and tomorrow will run at wider intervals than the standard timetable BUT replacement bus services will also run to support with people going to the NYE family fireworks early evening.
3. This was always a temporary fix and flyover will still need to be demolished and a permanent solution developed for traffic. In the meantime, Gateshead will do more substantive works to support traffic early in the new year.
4. As Mayor, I’ll make sure regional support is available and keep the pressure on because we know we need to get on with this and will keep residents updated.
Thank you for your continued patience- we know how inconvenient it has been but decisions have been made to keep everyone safe and prevent the flyover collapsing. A huge thank you to all those from Nexus, our regional transport team and Gateshead Council who have worked over Christmas to get us to this point.
31st December New Year's Eve-Metro Service Update
Strengthening works of the Gateshead Flyover are complete. Metro services will operate to all stations to a revised 24min frequency.
