Huw Lewis, Corporate Manager for Customer Services and Communications at Nexus, said: “We’re delighted to provide this special offer for Empire Theatre ticket holders. Metro takes away all the hassle of driving to a venue so is great way to travel around. We hope this offer encourages more people to use Metro to explore Sunderland city centre and other locations.”

Ben Phillips, General Manager, Sunderland Empire said: “We are delighted to be involved in this free travel initiative with Nexus to add value to our customer’s theatre experience. With a busy Autumn/Winter season ahead we anticipate that a number of customers will take advantage of this great opportunity.”
