Tyne and Wear Metro - R852 PRG - 14 Mar 2015
Had two rather nice journeys on 4005 & 4037 and 4015 & 4032 respectively today.
Have to say I preferred the short hop from Gateshead to Central on the latter pair than Park Lane to Haymarket on the former!
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 15 Mar 2015
Have all of the Metros been fitted with the new announcements.
Can't remember any of the refurbished examples having them.
I like how they say ''Next Station is Howdon. Take care if using the level crossing''.

No - only a select few have the new announcements.

Ah okay.
It's a shame as they are much better than the women.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 15 Mar 2015
There are delays of up to 25 mins to trains running between Benton and South Shields due to a operational issue. Please leave extra time for your journey.

Was originally 4064 & 4038 but 4015 had them when I was on it yesterday albeit very quiet.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 18 Mar 2015
Reading some of the questions on the Tyne and Wear Facebook page - which they promise to answer...
Seem's trains won't be replaced till 2025.
Here is the full reply:
painting stations is part of the station refurbishment plan to improve the environment for passengers. The fleet is going through a 3/4 life refurbishment and we are looking at ways of improving reliability of trains. The fleet is due to be replaced in 2025. Nexus are currently preparing a case to government to get funding for a new fleet.
WHY WEREN'T THEY REPLACED BEFORE!!!!!
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Adrian - 18 Mar 2015
(18 Mar 2015, 12:44 pm)Michael Reading some of the questions on the Tyne and Wear Facebook page - which they promise to answer...Funding isn't it. A business case needs to be put to the government, like any other 'project'. The only problem is that there's so many projects bidding for the same pots of money, it won't even be guaranteed by 2025.

If only depreciation had been invented!
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - omnicity4659 - 23 Mar 2015
DELAYS!!!
@My_Metro
Delays of up to 20 mins to trains running between Heworth and South Shields and South Hylton due to a fire alarm activation.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Tom - 29 Mar 2015
There are no trains running between East Boldon and South Hylton in both directions, this is due to a problem with the power supply.
We will update you once we have more information.

Not much of the green line in operation today, then?
South Gosforth - Airport off for modernisation work, and East Boldon - South Hylton off due to an issue.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DanPicken - 29 Mar 2015
I've had it with the Metro currently on 6100 hoping that it goes to Brockley Whins like the front says.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - JakeSavage - 29 Mar 2015
They were also off between South Gosforth and monkseaton earlier today. Again, a power supply problem.
RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Michael - 30 Mar 2015
Oh dear....once again...

Well, let's hope it doesn't take an hour for Nexus to organise a Metro Replacement service! I'd be pretty peeved if I had to wait around for an hour again at this hour.

Organise isn't a word NEXUS understands... lol

Haha, let's just wait for the uproar on Facebook where people say they've been waiting around for ages.
