Good to see Nexus trying to save money on the loss making Sunderland
Metro  line.

Why not go all the way and just close it and sell the track for scrap?

The Metro hasn't been the same since the Sunderland loop was opened,
most of the "operational difficulties" are in the Sunderland area.

The Mackems are such an insular lot that they don't like to leave
their town (oops city) anyway.

Save some money Nexus and do the right thing.

I think all the metro lines are loss making. The only thing keeping them going are the councils' grants.
