haha, one of them long stories

doesnt Whitley Bay have one too

your right, and it should be 4043 since it left the same time as 4021, its nice to see that the advertisement units are back in play for refurbishment again, with the last one being 4075 2 years ago, it will be nice to see 4055 back to a basic livery again. as for the maps, i think they...

4025 had issues a few weeks back but dont think its at Doncaster, but it could be that or 4055, i havent seen 4014 since August, ive lost track too to be honest, but no videos on youtube or anything, only 2 are confirmed, 4043 and 4087, dont know if anyone can enlighten us

im not calling you a liar but there should be 19 unrefurbished units, i will keep an eye out for 4055, i dont suppose you know the where abouts of 4014 cus nobody else does, last time i saw it was 6th August coupled to 4001. units left are...

no your not off topic, all questions are welcome, unfortunately im in the same boat as you, the few times ive been on the system lately,i havent seen 4055, so perhaps its gone to Wabtec, if not it, might be running peak shifts or having its exam, hope this helps

Hi guys/gals I have started a new thread in regards to the refurbishment programme, since the old thread has went off topic, post any refurbishment info in here. So i would like to start off with Metrocar 4021 has re entered service after refurbishment 4043 and 4087 are currently...

your very welcome,ive copied the list to this page since it was on page 5,saves searching for it --- old post above --- --- new post below --- --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 4001 Prototype(no refurb) 4002 Prototype(no refurb) 4003 Red 4004 Refubished 4005 Red 4006 Refurbished...

I find it a nice treat if its unrefurbished to be honest,its a nice break from 'beeeeeep' and 'beep beep beep', but doesnt mean i dislike the refurbished ones, but its best to enjoy it while weve got it, in response to you ModernRailways,i agree,it would be interesting to see which one(s) are...

if im right in thinking,'doors closing' is on the unrefurbished metrocars, and if my list is right then it should be 20 metrocars its left on(if 4014 is confirmed to be at wabtec),which would bring the total to 66 hope this helps

i dont know if its just me being sad,but part of me will miss the rainbow of colours that metro had for liveries,i also have mixed view on north shields metro station too

who knows, they will always test and try new things, some that seem pointless and confusing, and others that are ok, i have noticed a few times the woman on the platform annoncements often gets cut off before shes finished announcing

The government is a massive problem in general haha,but thats for another place and time

oh dear, i see an arguement brewing

its sad to see the system struggling,and its a shame that refurbishment is the 'only' option and that the government wont give money for a new fleet,its a short and very temporary fix,but i dunno how they expect the fleet to last another 16 years, its had a lot of problems lately,what...

just updated the list dunno if its right though, whats happened on the system now, and speaking of 'B' end driving i noticed 4061 was like that a couple of weeks ago, i think it was paired with 4089

is the gosforth incident reffering to 4052, all i saw was it bellowing smoke but had no idea what caused it,seperate note has anything returned or went away

it just looks dramatic metrocar is right, metro do have high standards, this may sound like twoddle but will they be certain of how it happened, when the report is made

Yes, North Shields has 3 platforms, platform 3 used to house the old blue line (North Shields-St James),then when that line got scrapped it became derilict, then on rare occasions it did get used, then from 2010 its purpose was to hold the temporary entrance during the modernisation...

when did 4088 get back
