Have they changed their name to "metro aplogises" yet?

It will get worse until new trains arrive, they're not going to spend money on the old stock in the interim

It won’t get better with new trains unless the infrastructure is completely renewed

Polishing a turd.
Paint and upholstery issues rarely sent the trains back to Gosforth Depot out of service.

Same, although saying that my bike had a flat battery this morning since it hasn't moved since before Christmas. Still only took a couple of mins to jump start and I was away.

If the metro was no more Sunderland would suffer

Nah, not yet. Work from home Monday and Friday, travel to Yorkshire the other 3 days but driven at the minute. Hopefully should have licence by March.

New trains will definitely improve the reliability but yes the infrastructure needs upgrading also.

Probably because that there London gets that there investment

Absolutely rammed this morning due to other trains being withdrawn. Prices go up put the service just constantly gets worse.
