Wasn't aware Network Rail managed the overhead lines mind.
Even the messaging from Nexus usually says 'on Network rail infrastructure'...today is doesn't.

You get on at Regent like?
Your not that bloke who I've nicknamed the metro apologies bloke?
Every time there is a delay he will tell anybody who will listen the same line..."Oh the Metro apologises again...!"

I think Network Rail are the contractor - it's not their infrastructure.
They say that Network Rail are trying to fix it - it doesn't say that it's Network Rail's problem.
Network Rail don't use the O/H line to Sunderland and that was installed by Nexus.
Nothing will change.
It'll still be a shambles.
Apologies, quick edit.

They said it was a Network Rail problem in the announcement on the station this morning.

They didn't when I heard it at 730.
That may have changed mind.
But non of the social media updates are blaming Network Rail - and usually Nexus are first to point the finger.
7am this morning. It is unreliable but last week was extreme and they did get it up and running by friday. It's a private company so they will spend the minimum on maintenance. There are problems somewhere in the system every week.

There are no trains running between Pelaw and Regent Centre in both directions. This is due to problem with the overhead line.
We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 900, calling at or near to all stations between Pelaw and Regent Centre.
We will update you once we have more information.

The disruption between Pelaw and Regent Centre has now been resolved.
There are no trains running between St. Peters and South Hylton in both directions until the end of service. This is due to problem with the overhead line.

Unlucky I support the lads but luckily don't live over that way or I'd be knackered too.
