A FIRE at a garage caused chaos for thousands of commuters on Tyneside's Metro yesterday.
Firefighters spent more than 12 hours fighting the blaze at CA Auto Tyres on the Meadowell estate, in North Shields, North Tyneside.
Metro operator Nexus ran a bus service to help commuters get to work after Metro trains between Tynemouth and Wallsend had to be cancelled between 8pm on Sunday and yesterday morning.
