Services were halted after structural damage was identified at the north landing, which occurred during Storm Chandra on Tuesday 27 January. Nexus said the closure is a precautionary measure, while urgent structural repair works take place. In the meantime, a replacement bus service is running between the ferry landings, and Shields Ferry tickets are being accepted on Metro services. Passengers are advised to check the Nexus website or the Shields Ferry Facebook page for the latest updates on service resumption. The public can contact the Nexus media office for more information or visit the Nexus website.
