An ambulance had to be called to assist a passenger, who was suspected to have suffered a seizure, at 12.40pm on Wednesday, July 10.

Hide AdIt has since confirmed on Twitter that trains are now running between the two stations - but with delays to service.
Services were back up and running by 1.10pm.
A Nexus spokesperson said:“Trains were delayed on the Sunderland line on Wednesday afternoon due to a medical emergency.
“A male passenger suffered a suspected seizure. An ambulance was called to the scene. The man later came around and was able to leave the train himself with some assistance.”
