A NEW customer care initiative will see conductors added to evening trains on Tyneside's Metro system.
Bosses at operator, Nexus, believe the move will increase public confidence on evening trains, following requests for increased staff presence at key times.
The year-long pilot scheme will see trained conductors on all trains between St James' and Tynemouth, via Wallsend, from 6.30pm until the last train.
The trial will start on June 3.
