I noticed in your picture of 4026 it has an advert on the top from previous days.

God i remember seing a picture of the train that livery. Is it one of the first ever advertising liveries. I know we're going back a bit but it might have been at least 1991 when the Airport extension was around. Ill follow this up.

Airport is also open so was either first seen in 1991 or was branded before hand but remained around for the Airport extension opening.

That Braathens livery was about for quite a while - no idea on dates though.
Definately one of the first advertisement liveries, if not the first.
Saying that, struggling to think of the ones which followed in the following few years after.
There may have been a Metroland livery - but not sure on others.

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 12 Jul 2014
Refurbished Metrocar 4046 is having a few issues with the doors, on the 'B' side - second door in on the left hand side.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 13 Jul 2014
No trains next Sunday between North Shields and Shiremoor between 0600 and 1800 due to bridgework. A bus replacement service will be operating in the affected areas.

Timetable is online here. Looks like it'll require 4 buses from half 10, and 2 before.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 13 Jul 2014
Does anyone know how long until 4001/4002/4027/4036/4045/4055 get refurbished? Those are the ones I want to photo the most.

I believe 4001/4002 are 2 of the examples not getting refurbished - 4001 due to its historical significance.
