Title: Sunderland rail travel problem
Post by: ss1953 on April 03, 2019, 04:00:57 pm
Just to let people know that the Metro line from Newcastle Station to the Stadium of Light has works that day.
It will run to Gateshead then there is a replacement bus service for a portion of the journey.

Allow another 30 minutes.

If you can't do it that way then there is a local business service to Sunderland from Durham the number 20, 20A and takes about 40 to 50 mins from the bus station. A 5 mins walk from Durham train station to the bus station then a 15 minute walk from Sunderland bus station to the stadium.

Not if you don't mind missing the first 15 mins anyway.

You could have said 5pm then.
