A NORTH-EAST transport company is to provide six touch-screen information kiosks for its passengers.

Nexus has provided the iPlus Point terminals at Tyneside and Wearside to deliver outdoor broadband services at the touch of a button.

The company will also upload the latest transport information to each kiosk so users can access the Metro map, train and bus timetables and a journey planner.

The new kiosks, which cost a total of £150,000, will be installed this month.

The kiosks will be located at Central Station, in Newcastle; Four Lane Ends interchange, in Benton; Regent Centre Metro station, in Gosforth; Blaydon bus station; the Concord bus station, in Washington; and at Harton Nook, in South Shields.
