Ah I see. If you could provide a photo of it I would be very interested.

4021 required a rebuild of its front end in early 2019 but I dont know about the others. Could be just spares if they are indeed Metrocar front ends. Or the front ends from 4022...

Do you mean as in one half-section of a single Metrocar?

Hello again everyone. I’ve had a look at photos and also asked around for what parts have been removed from Metrocar 4022 at Burton. So far the list is as follows: Passenger Saloon Doors Cab electronics (various) Pantograph Windows Seat Covers Tail and Front Lights Metro In-Carriage Maps CCTV...

Officially visited 900 stations in the UK now (as in hopping off and stepping onto the platform). My 900th station was Apperley Bridge.

Hello everyone. Having discussed the refurbishment program with some people, it would appear that 4001 will also have the same flooring work done to 4040/4002 (and 4083 when it’s eventually done, I think it’s currently in Depot receiving the work) however this will not affect the current paint...

Here is the full joint Nexus/DBTW report into 4022. I’ve had to redact some personal information out of the document, which is why this is delayed, but I hope this helps people.

Hiya everyone, I’ve been sent the full report into the incident, if anyone is wishing to have it sent over I will duly do so.

Hello all, just a small update. Photos have emerged on Facebook of the unit at Burton (not my photos attached). It’s in a sorry state and is evidently not going to be coming back.

Now tell me what do you guys think of that livery? It looks...different.

What I have never understood is whenever I’m at Pelaw and staff are there (which has mostly not been the case for 2 years now but you can still see a few once or twice a month) there is always some kids sitting over the platform edge, or not buying tickets, etc. They don’t seem to care. But when...

Whilst I have full permission for photography and videography and know quite a few members of staff, I still sometimes get a staff member shouting their head off at me for filming/taking pictures, it’s once been taken to such a level that I was questioned for being at Palmersville Foot Crossing...

not got a link but certainly have a screenshot.

It’s been announced on the Facebook photography group by a Metro staff individual and there has also been apparently photos taken of it somewhere.

Hi everyone! It has recently been announced that 4001 is to go into a new livery, replacing the drab grey livery DB gave it a few years ago. Does that mean it’s going back into PTE cadmium, or is it a new livery specifically about 40 years of Metro? thanks!

Here we go....news just in that all fares to rise in 2020 by 10p.

Whilst Metro may be facing a budget crisis, with 2 units (4075/4022) long out of use, it’s done alright for the age of the units. There may be peaks cancelled, there may be LRA, there may be a train failure, but it’s still serving the purpose it promised, “a quick way to the city” some 40 years...

I found these images on Instagram, could this be some of the only images of 4022 on its way to Bristol?

Do you have this photo? I would like to see it when it’s neither derailed, on wheelskates, or in a siding in Barton.

I think 4022 might have been (if it even was) moved in order to make space at Bristol, but it still doesn’t explain why it went to Burton of all places.
