Nexus Tyne & Wear Metro

Metro Newcastle Central Station wheelchair user just tried to go up the escalator with his child on the back of the wheelchair 😱
First time i've ever had to press the emergency stop button after i heard the screams & the crashing noise weird how pressing that button opened the gates as well 😲
Can't believe how stupid some people me & other people told him that the lifts were out of order but he was determined to go on the escalator one of those massive big cerebral palsy type wheelchairs + he was arguing with his girlfriend & also threaten her if she dare talk to that kid like that - don't know how much use in a fight he would be 🤔
Nexus & Metro can take some of the blame for how long it's taken them to sort the lifts out you could say they're taking the pi** 😠

right so they say "get off at monument" because theres no wheelchair access at the moment, THEY SAY THAT FOR A REASON

[@pauladiggle7983]

It’s a total nightmare travelling by train or Metro if you are in a wheelchair.

[@lukebrewer4195]

Never mind emergency stop, just stand back and enjoy the show 😂

[@NclHaz]

Hero mate, you're making a difference in our metros, keep up the good work soldier

[@geordieboy5679]

No lift at station or haymarket forcing people to travel further away from the city. Sorry, but the state of the metro is a joke, more so since the fare increases these stations, never have the lift in operation.

[@nicolesxx]

There is a lift?

[@cheesetoastyy6902]

They are refurbishing the lift

[@cbvsjs]

The same old constant excuse from Metro

[@Britdoesjapan-yc2mu]

They always are lol the lift at monument been getting refurbished for a decade

[@geordieboy5679]

The haymarket been out for months could have been stripped out and fully replaced by now

[@tledger1716]

No wonder half the lifts dont work 😂

[@godzuks]

was it a tesla wheelchair?

[@rosilinathedragon4382]

was the chap in the wheelchair okay?

[@cbvsjs]

I think so i can't believe he had his daughter hanging on the back of the wheelchair

[@jcthompson3381]

Facts "his daughter" wasn't on the back of the wheelchair

[@Loxley23]

So let them go up of they have someone behind them whats the problem?

[@cbvsjs]

What's the problem wheelchairs are not allowed on the escalators the guy had his kid on the back of the wheelchair as well sometimes the stars move quicker than the belt in this case that's what happened the wheelchair and his daughter and himself went crashing down to the bottom
