    Poor

    I Googled access on the Metro which informed me of level access at all stations. That is not true at both Sunderland Central and South Hylton. I see now that the Nexus Metro website states that assistance can be pre-booked giving 4 hours notice.

    Good

    I travelled from Middlesbrough by Northern Rail to Sunderland which was good. On arrival the Metro to South Hylton departed from the adjacent platform.

    Bad

    No staff were visible at Sunderland. On returning there from South Hylton the driver told me about pre-booķing a ramp - which level access implies is not necessary.

    Additional Information

    My powered wheelchair has electric leg lifters which now need repairing.
