    I get the metro Gateshead to Tyne Dock every weekday at 07:25. I always grab the seat right at the front whenever it's available (it usually is).
    At 07:20 every morning, the Airport metro pulls into platform 2 at Gateshead with passengers packed into it like sardines; it is always crammed full.

      Yes, always packed at rush hour and on Saturday mornings. I don't know why the trains are so short. There are always two 'double carriages' although some of the platforms could easily take much longer trains. Some of the original stations would have to be extended though.

    I moved from Gateshead last year, I loved the metro. Used to like going to Tynemouth, spending some time at the beach, then getting the ferry from North to South Shields.
    It deserves way more funding, the rolling stock is far too old.
