Maintenance teams have worked miracles to fix the extensive damage caused by Storm Arwen, which was the worst to hit Metro in its 41 years of operation.
The storm hit the North East of England during the night of Friday the 26th of November and continued its destructive path until the early hours of Saturday morning, with the storm seeing the entire Metro system halted.
Nexus, who own and run Metro, sent crews out to manage the fallen trees and downed overhead cables in numerous areas following the 90mph gales.
The recovery operation saw the teams work right around the clock in freezing weather conditions.
The frontline workforce went above and beyond through freezing conditions in the face of unprecedented destruction to the network. The teams have put in incredible effort to get the majority of the Metro network back in action and open as usual for customers yesterday.
