Bit of a confession to make, i miss the old 'stand clear of the doors please' Shame they couldnt bring it back but modernise it

I must say i do agree with you there, it was a shame anyway cus the plaques were never Maintained on the outside, if im right theres only 4026 and 77 that are named now i think There might be a third,i have watched a video with the new announcement and i like it, On another note apart...

Made a mistake 4028 is now down there but dunno which came back

4036,4047,4051,4064

Obsessed with it,no i dont think i am,so your wrong there, i am not the only person that has realised a difference So dont know why you single me out,yeah im no expert,but neither are you, but other people may or may Not agree that there are cars that appear to need it more than some of the...

I think its terrible when passengers take it out on the staff,nexus are to blame to a certain extent, i like Haymarket but that blew a massive hole in the budget, and as for meadow well i dont know why that got Refurbished, but like you said the metrocar refurbishment has to suffer cus of it...

To be honest, i think the novelty has worn off now with the refurbishment, Metrocars seem to be taking less time now compared to when it first started 4009 being the shortest 4041,42,46,72 all seemed to be gone from 2010/11 until around March 2012, thats a year, now they are Lucky if it...

Im not too keen on the black colour scheme, it makes the stations look miserable, also does anyone know when longbenton-cullercoats is being done excluding tynemouth. Its is nice to see that walkergate is pretty much complete but, on the other hand its a shame north shields isnt...

So in essence its greed and laziness haha thats nexus/metro for you

Oh i get you now, my mistake If 4045 is contracted 5 years, then it wont go until next year, making it one of the last units to be refurbished, if it gets refurbished, as no one knows which two arent to be done, if anything you will be able to tell whats not getting refurbished if a unit...

Has 4088 been changed, it would make sense why i havent seen it in ages

4045 must be due to have its advert stripped by now, its been on it 4 years I was half expecting this to have the east coast livery on it and not 4038 as it had only recieved its Thompsons livery at the begining of last year and 4084 had gained the Popcard livery in 2011 so i personally...

Green is at an end, such a shame, Blue will be close behind I worked it out the other day that there is only 3 left (4 if you include 4055) I will add 4036 to the list now Regards Tez

I think it might be me, but i rode on harry cowens the other day(4041) and it was paired with 4059, and it appears thats the only metrocar nexus care about, the ride was smooth and comfortable ,but 4059 made a right racket, on a separate note has anyone else noticed that 4062 has still got...

Well last month I was on set 4023/4034, and one of the cars appeared to be dragging and affecting the acceleration. I didn't moan, but someone else was, so I moved seats, and before 4046 was refurbished that used to do the same. People must remember the carriages are 34+ years old, so of...

I agree with you there,im guessing youve had a bad experience with the metro recently,its like i said on the nexus website,trains that are currently in service seem to be the ones falling apart and the ones that dont need it get it but im kinda glad 4064 went away,maybe they will be able to sort...

Do you think they might make a plaque instead

That sounds like nexus,i have a question,how is it that flood damaged metrocar 4044 went for refurbishment but 4087 was coupled to 4044 that day but hasnt gone at all, but they were also quick to do 4052 and 4086 when involved in the small fire at south gosforth,it just seems 4087 has been...

Havent heard anything in a while myself

Which one came back,i missed it
