@northeastmsa: New ticket gates have been activated at Regent Centre Metro station. These are the first new ticket gates in 10 years, and now 75% of passengers will pass through a gate at the start or end of their journey, making metro safer for everyone. @Tyne & Wear Metro

Josie Birch :

Could you please further elaborate on how this helps “reducing that violence against women and girls”?

RMCTtt :

The new seating arrangements on the new trains are a lot less safe than the old seating. Whole sections of trains become unusable by gangs laid fully out on the seats.

ŁÜĨŞ ÇÖĄŤËŞ :

Maybe lower metro prices and some people won’t do fare evasion

Caleb :

“On the front line” are we seriously talking about the metro

XxiDkwhatToputherexX :

How does this help the people causing problems will just jump over the barriers anyway

Isaac :

Newgates but no contactless card?

JONESY :

14 stations out of 60 stations are gated so 75% of customers will start or end there journey through a gated station. Do you not mean 25% not 75

user8772335666344 :

That will be the price of tickets going up again

hulioroo :

they'll do absolutely everything to make sure you pay, but nowt to improve the service 💀🤣 if you don’t have a ticket you get £52/£60 fine

📸🕸️ :

okay so what if you’ve got a 1.10 ticket from the bus how are you meant to get through

Ducky the Minion :

Do they scan the rover tickets purchased on the stagecoach/ go north east apps??

Dylanoxley24 :

They do exactly the same things as the old ones what. Waste of money went there the other day at about 2pm and it was a ghost town

Helen :

Gates and staff are canny, but the new metros aren't. No grab rail from the middle of the carriage, when the metro is rammed.

Adam knights :

Can the new gates read QR Codes for the likes of the TNE U21 ticket

Anita_southcombe :

Regent centre! Get them at the busiest metro stops, goodness me….

zac :

No it’s because gosforth academy cause chaos their

Buzzin-mc :

make it so you can tap your card at the barrier like the underground

Brian Wood9995 :

They were ordered before you became mayor

Jag :

Surely most people use digital anyway

privadoooo48 :

Bro you metro has barely any seats most times i been and fares on the roof with constant delays. Lower you fares honestly then people won’t cause a fare invasion

️’Alz ౨ৎ :

idk how ur gonna add gates to percy main meadowell hadrian road etc

Ryan Lee Young :

If they were that bothered about fare skipping they’d have put them in at every station by now for how long they’ve used barriers

Amy :

how does this work if the station you’re going to doesn’t have the new gates ?
