This news article covers three separate events in the North East of England: the resumption of Metro services after safety works, the closure of Roker Pier for repairs, and the opening of a rare archive at Beamish Museum.
Tyne and Wear Metro services were back up and running to all destinations after work to prop up a dangerous flyover. The service was effectively cut in half before Christmas when trains were stopped from running through the tunnel under Gateshead Highway. Roker Pier has been closed for repairs since October 2023 when it was damaged by a storm.The unsafe, storm-battered pier had its gate lock cut open last weekend, prompting warnings from Sunderland City Council.
Mayor Kim McGuinness said she wanted to join other regional leaders to take over the running of rail company Northern Trains. Many local people have donated their collections to Beamish Museum in County Durham, which charts 20th Century life, revealed objects in its huge archives which are rarely seen by the public.
