Dad mentioned to me last time that I phoned him that the management of Tyne & Wear Metro have replaced the miniature map above the doors with one in the style of an LU line map. There is, however a slight problem with this arrangement, specifically that the yellow line goes through Monument twice in different directions, so it's both in the centre of the map and off to the far left. Surely only a matter of time before some football supporters from foreign parts manage to take slightly longer than necessary to get from Central Station to St James or similar. The handle above the window to the left is the one I mentioned in another thread which allows passengers to get the doors open in an emergency.

Yes I saw this too the other day and I must say it is confusing. The old style was much better.

I haven't seen the new style before, but there was nothign confusing about the old style maps and so I dont' see why they changed them - this new style looks much worse.

When I was looking up the length of the Yellow line (see post in Quizzes section), I saw that there was call for reinstating the Blue line as an off peak St James -to Airport via North Shields and the Depot Avoiding Line at South Gosforth service. I'm all for this as not needing to negotiate the bridge at South Gosforth station with a large, heavy bag would make my periodic trips from the Aiport to Tynemouth much easier!
