Yes thats right, but i heard some are being retained for the Railhead Treatment Train

How many more 555's are left to enter service now?, must only be a handful

I take it it's just 4024,4029, and 4079 that are withdrawn

Benton Square and South Wellfield spring to mind on the Yellow Line

Because they're plastic garbage, and have been a pain in the backside since they first showed up, these won't last 46 years like the Metrocars, i'd still like to know why customers comments haven't been answered in regards to the 555's having no grab straps, i still remember the original...

Nice surprise from the old girls

Nah you're alright thanks

If it were any metrocar haunting me, it would be 4005 or 4014, if its 4009, haunt me as much as you like, it'll make me dislike it even more , back to the point in hand, you can tell when its a Metrocar and when its a 555 based on the wheel pattern, when you're my age you can anyway

No, definitely a train, either that or it the train had horrendous wheel flats, it genuinely sounded like Metrocars

I could be completely wrong, but was just sitting in the vape shop in Shields, and a Metro went through the tunnel, it sounded suspiciously like Metrocars

I get time needs to move on and the old trains were exactly that (old), but im not sold on the new trains, i just travelled from Four Lane Ends- North Shields and had to do it in 2 sections 555013 turned up first i only managed to last until Palmersville it was too hot and the AC didn't seem to...

If you're meaning the 26th, he's called Richard, but for privacy, i wont share his full name

I love the defiance of the old girls though Nexus: last guaranteed day 26/06/26 Metrocars: say's who, hold our beers

I didn't even mention 4019

No such Class of Train 1782436008 No, only ones preserved are 4001 and 4020, the rest are all going bye bye
