Can anyone tell me how many new metro trains are now in service, and have all the faults been rectified? Thanks in advance.

Brilliant list! Thanks. So there are only 4 left to be completed? Brilliant. 1750617606 Thanks for your reply. These trains are supurb!

I saw a new Metro at Pallion yesterday (Saturday). Can I ask if this is now the norm? I thought they didn't opperate new Metros at weekend! Are they now in opperation on a nightime too? And also, can some body tell me how many new Metros are now in service. Thanks.

Happy birthday and thanks everyone for the information. especially about Tyne and Wear Metro, where exciting developnts are taking place!!

This thread has gone a bit quiet! Is anything happening??

I agree! I loved the heavy doors on 4001 and 4002.

They've got to preserve 4001!! Its the only surviving prototype. I see Stadler 500028 has entered service according to info I have recieved, so I wonder if 4010 and 4040 have their funerals arranged!!

Something needs to change! Trains full of litter, people punching door buttons before the train stops, feet on seats, as well as infrastructure failures with a potential to overcharge honest paying passengers! I hope I am not breaking the rules on this forum by posting this reply, but we all...

I arrived back at Pallion at 23.30 to see that one of the vallidaters was blanked off, and the other had a white screen, of which I had tried using. I got in touch with Metro and was told "don't worry, you will be charged until the end of service"! Its like me saying "don't worry, I'm not paying...

I was on 4030 on Friday night. It was coupled with 4036.

I forgot about that!

It seems like they are scrapping these Metros faster than they are introducing the new ones into service. Has there been any recent deliveries of new trains? It certainly looks like a fast changing situation!!

I saw that! Plus the one that is going to Stevensons! 1743550592 I was so hot on a 599 this afternoon that I nearly passed out!! Plus, it appears that it has had a major oil spill. I didn't get the fleet number as I alighted at Millfield. Metro must have really reduced the care and maintainance...

Thank you. 1743451682 Thank you.

So how many new Metros are in service now? I saw a video of 555027 is now in service, but I am losing count!!
