RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 21 Jun 2014
Saw the Newcastle International Airport liveried Metro Car today, was a shock as I thought it had been refurbished! Never saw it for a good six months.

Assume it's had a problem or two.

Sure I saw a mention on a friends' facebook the other day that it had been off for a good 6 months.

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Bus_User - 21 Jun 2014
4045 has been undergoing an 'D' exam which as the poster above rightly say is where the unit is split into two and everything is basically checked out.
Of course no surprises that yet more false information is being posted onto the net by the guy who did the youtube video...

(21 Jun 2014, 9:44 pm)Bus_User 4045 has been undergoing an 'D' exam which as the poster above rightly say is where the unit is split into two and everything is basically checked out.It seems illogical to do that if it means the unit being out of service so long? especially when it would be stripped down for a refurbishment anyway? unless I'm missing something.

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - V514DFT - 21 Jun 2014
It was originally due to be back in service at the end of april early may and something delayed it,the bloke who posts the videos is a bit of an idiot anyway,has no up to date videos and when you ask him a question he ignores you, he just posted a video of 4060 going for refurbishment,that was months ago,theres one of 4014 coupled to 4080,4080 i think is currently paired with 4067,and i dont know what 4014 is coupled to

Pray tell how posting older videos makes you an idiot? I am still uploading pictures to flickr from December/January. Some people have more time on their hands than others.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - V514DFT - 21 Jun 2014
Well not idiot but he is very rude

Well as he isn't on the forum to defend himself, I will... Having met the lad in question on many occasions, he certainly doesn't strike me as being rude or an idiot. If you have a different experience then that's fine but please don't spread unqualified comments on forums where people may be unable to respond.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 22 Jun 2014
4045 is coupled with 4027 and is on the green line today. Just departing Sunderland for Newcastle Airport now.

Unacceptable. Get him signed up.
I quite often follow his YouTube posts, and he posts some really good heavy rail stuff, not just Metro. We could do with more rail enthusiasts for the "Other Forms of Transport" parts.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - BJ10VUS - 25 Jun 2014
Has anyone else heard the new on-board announcements on the Metro? I quite like them, although I'd prefer them to be spoken in proper sentences rather than so robotically. Thoughts?

Heard them a while ago - mentioned them somewhere but not sure where.

I've never heard them before in person, but the video is about a month old, which implies that they've been on at least one train for a while! Sorry if I'm duplicating a post, however.
