The Metro service is suspended between Monument and Heworth, which may impact some Newcastle fans heading to the Premier League game against Aston Villa for the 3pm kick-off.

The Metro line is shut between Monument and Heworth as a precaution due to the ongoing closure of the A167 Gateshead Highway flyover. The Metro tunnels run beneath the flyover.

Fans should plan their journey in advance allow more time to get to the game if travelling in the affected area.

Extra replacement bus service is will be running between Monument and Heworth, with a bus leaving approximately every eight minutes.

Metro trains continue to run northbound from Monument to Newcastle Airport on the Green Line, and also continue to run on the Yellow Line from St James to Monument via the North Tyneside coast.

As things stand, Metro services are also still running from Heworth down to South Shields and to South Hylton on the Sunderland line with a 24 minute service in place.
