RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 25 Oct 2013 (25 Oct 2013, 6:42 am)Dan Just a little? Outside of the Metro windows it's torrential. haha, saying that i have to head out in about 15/20 mins. RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 25 Oct 2013 Iv'e being outside the weather is meh but its not that bad... Re: RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - MrFozz - 25 Oct 2013 (24 Jul 2013, 5:05 pm)AdamY Well, we all know about how greatly the climate and weather conditions vary across the entire Metro network. If there was a post of the year competition...This would take some beating, made me laugh ![]() RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - tyresmoke - 25 Oct 2013 (25 Oct 2013, 9:30 am)fozzovmurton If there was a post of the year competition...This would take some beating, made me laugh Have to say that is superb ![]() RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - citaro5284 - 25 Oct 2013 Leaves on the line http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/metro-passengers-right-frustrated-after-6240640 RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 25 Oct 2013 (25 Oct 2013, 11:06 am)citaro5284 Leaves on the line You have to laugh ![]() RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 25 Oct 2013 Of course, theres a chance there will be a ambulance attending, someone getting their head chopped off in the doors or no electric at a station! RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 25 Oct 2013 (25 Oct 2013, 6:20 pm)Tom Of course, theres a chance there will be a ambulance attending, someone getting their head chopped off in the doors or no electric at a station! They seem to have a lot of passengers falling ill whilst in service. It'd be interesting if someone from one of the big three could give us an insight on the volume of ambulance calls that they've had to make this year to compare. As for heads being chopped off and electrocuted when touching closed doors. I've written an FOI to Nexus to ask how many people have suffered such fate since 1980. ![]() RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 25 Oct 2013 (25 Oct 2013, 6:24 pm)aureolin They seem to have a lot of passengers falling ill whilst in service.

That video was horrendous! ![]() RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Dan - 25 Oct 2013 I showed the campaign video alongside the CCTV footage to a few girls in my school after it was noted on the forum... They've said they don't feel safe on the Metro any longer. I don't know if that's what Nexus' objective was?

They've said they don't feel safe on the Metro any longer. Possibly make people feel a bit worried, because the next thing they know, there is a head on the floor, or a arm on the floor! RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Andreos1 - 25 Oct 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqd4aPs5WTA&feature=youtube_gdata_player Call that a health & safety video? This is a health & safety video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqd4aPs5WTA&feature=youtube_gdata_player Bit slow to start with... Puts Nexus effort to shame! RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 27 Oct 2013 ''27th October - Trains are running to all destinations but with delays between St James and South Shields and between Airport and South Hylton, this is due to low rail adhesion'' RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 27 Oct 2013 (27 Oct 2013, 4:52 pm)Tom ''27th October - Trains are running to all destinations but with delays between St James and South Shields and between Airport and South Hylton, this is due to low rail adhesion'' Isn't that the whole network? RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 27 Oct 2013 (27 Oct 2013, 6:13 pm)aureolin Isn't that the whole network? It sure is ![]() RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Wellsey18 - 27 Oct 2013 This is becoming a more frequent issue, I thought I was just experiencing wheel spin hahaha, what actually causes this, like because they have to drive away slowly don't they? RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 27 Oct 2013 (27 Oct 2013, 8:58 pm)Wellsey18 This is becoming a more frequent issue, I thought I was just experiencing wheel spin hahaha, what actually causes this, like because they have to drive away slowly don't they? Exactly that really. Lack of traction because the rails are greasy off either rain or decomposing leaves or both.

RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 02 Nov 2013 I am not using the Metro system anymore, it's a joke. I decided to get the Metro from Monument to Wallsend, but guess what? It was delayed! There was an announcement saying: ''We are sorry for any incovenience caused. This disruption is due to low rail adhesion. The next train will leave St James in 15 minutes.'' After 20 minutes there was no sign of any train, and there was a similar announcement still saying 15 minutes. So I just walked out and got the 22! It's a bloody joke! |
