Football fans are set to face travel disruption due to planned maintenance work on a train line.
Tyne and Wear Metro service lines will be closed between 28 October and 1 November while major infrastructure work is carried out.
The work clashes with Newcastle United's Carabao Cup game against Chelsea at St James' Park, meaning fans will have to make alternative travel arrangements.
Train operator Nexus said football games were considered when work was planned, but the "scale of the investments" meant it was "not possible to avoid major line closures clashing with football fixtures".
The line is set to be closed from Gateshead Stadium to South Shields, and from Gateshead Stadium to South Hylton, in Sunderland.
