Children to travel for free on both Tyne and Wear Metro and Shields Ferry
and live on Freeview channel 276
The offer means that up to three children, aged 11 and under, can travel for free all day, every day – making family trips out across the region even more affordable.
Nexus first introduced the offer for weekends in January last year as part of the celebrations to mark Metro’s 40th anniversary.

He said: “We are always looking at how to give our customers the best possible value for money, and offering free travel to children gives families a fantastic opportunity to revisit their favourite places or explore new ones in an extremely affordable way.
