Thanks @yorkie

Buckingham Group have been awarded the contact for the redoubling of the remaining single track sections to South Shields.
A £100m track dualling scheme that will increase service frequency, cut journey times and improve reliability on the Tyne and Wear Metro has moved a step closer after a construction contractor was officially appointed.
Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd has won a £55m tender for the construction stage of Metro Flow project, which will see an existing freight line upgraded and electrified in South Tyneside
The dualling of three key sections between Pelaw and Bede stations – scheduled for September to December 2022 - will create the capacity for an extra 24,000 Metro passenger journeys every day.
