I’m a cheating a bit today. This Metro Man is in the Sunderland station but since the Metro goes to Newcastle and this was on the Newcastle side of the platform, i’m allowing it. Not to be all fangirl-ish, but isn’t he cute?!? He was on a sign saying the stairs were not in use because of construction. :)

That’s cheating quite a bit in Geordie eyes, to take a picture in Mackem land - but I will forgive you for he is cute.
Never understoond why the Metro went to Sunderland - would have been used more if it had gone to the Team Valley and then out to Durham. Planners - I despair of.
