    Tyne & Wear Metro: Fleet Refurbishment List

    lol you just know its still probably gonna spark an arguement, got say i have memories of the PTE livery and when it was pretty much being extinguished(except 4001 and 4002) in the mid life refurbishment it was a nice surprise when one turned up,looked nice when old (and then) new were paired...

    Tyne & Wear Metro: Fleet Refurbishment List

    4036 has been back a while from donny now,unless its been out of service, but i swear it was paired with 4029 a couple of weeks ago, i noted its A/B stickers being missing a while back,the light thing is new though

    Tyne & Wear Metro: Fleet Refurbishment List

    solved that problem by putting in my music,to leave the train is just obsurd, it seems that in a way they are reverting back to when it was stand clear of the doors please, that was a male announcer,nice treat to ride an unrefurb,it was also 4045

    Tyne & Wear Metro: Fleet Refurbishment List

    there are 12 left but realistically 10 cus of course there are 2 more not to be refurbished, i had the unfortunate misery of riding 4044 with the shovel man on it, quite frankly i cant stand him with his in consistant announcements, also we pulled up along side 4019 at Cullercoats and it...

    Tyne & Wear Metro: Fleet Refurbishment List

    was on 4029 today which smelt as if something was burning, 4055 was leading but seemed to struggle out of palmersville, im sure 4016 and 4007 left quite close together so 4005 probably did leave which means 4007 must be due to return, so yes 4027 could be next

    Tyne & Wear Metro: Fleet Refurbishment List

    i know about 2 years ago i boarded a train at Gateshead i think it was in December 2012, and the doors had just closed and it started smoking about a medium amount, so i had to notify the driver, and we were instantly detrained, but that started making the same loud spitting noise and also...

    Tyne and Wear Metro Refurbishment Programme

    thats the blue era at an end then, i dont know why i thought 4048 was named, is the stickers just a case of cheapness or is 4077 being prepped for wabtec, it must of been 4014 that returned unless its got problems delaying its return otherwise it would be 4055

    Tyne and Wear Metro recruiting

    I applied too, and I know the feeling about missing out, I asked back in march and said there would be Nothing for 18 months, and what made it worse is I was still 20, so this was quite a surprise

    Tyne and Wear Metro Refurbishment Programme

    Ive been on a few of the reburbs done at the same time as 4042, but havent been stripped like that, bit of a strange one to be honest, unless its the first one to have it done, on another note, i dont know if its just co incidence but has anyone else noticed that metrocars that are due for...

    Tyne and Wear Metro Refurbishment Programme

    I may be wrong but 4045 should be past the stage of running short peak time journeys, nice to see it back in service, its a funny one to be honest because it has its ĺivery for the airport celebrating 75 years, next year it will be 80 years, so does anyone know if its contracted to be on and...
