00:00It's been quite annoying, because I usually use the bus, or train, because I don't have a licence right now,
00:09but there's always traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic everywhere, especially trying to get to Newcastle.
00:14It's just terrible, even in the small streets, like around the Christmas market in Eldon.
00:18A nightmare.
00:21I went from Sunderland to Newcastle the other day.
00:26The metro wasn't running, because there was a power failure somewhere.
00:33Eventually I got on a train, it was absolutely packed.
00:38And then coming back from Newcastle last night, again, the metros just weren't running.
00:46Well, I mean, the train, it gets either delayed or just cancelled.
00:53So I don't think the transport system is very good.
00:56It's something that really needs to be taken in hand and improved.
