13 Problems Only People From Jarrow Will Understand

7. The Metro Station Confusion

For all its problems, the Tyne and Wear Metro is pretty fantastic. It connects Newcastle, Sunderland, and all the surrounding towns. Does Jarrow have a Metro station? You bet your bottom dollar it does. It has three! Residents of Hebburn and Boldon look on in envy at Jarrow's three glorious Metro stations, but there's one crucial problem. They're all hilariously far apart. Those who live in the south of Jarrow will know the pain of needing to go to South Shields, only to realise that Fellgate Metro station is on the wrong line. Similarly, those closer to the town centre can't get to Sunderland without heading the wrong way for two or three stops, before switching at Pelaw.
