Travel restrictions will be in place for the return of one of English football’s most fiercely contested rivalries.
Sunderland host Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday at 14:00 GMT, marking their first top flight clash in almost a decade.
Between 10:00 and kick-off, Tyne and Wear Metro trains travelling southbound towards the match will not stop at Stadium of Light station, while Metro trains travelling northbound from South Hylton will not stop at St. Peter’s station.
After the game, home fans will be released first and those wanting to use the Metro will be escorted to the Stadium of Light station. Then, away fans will be directed to St. Peter’s.
