  • Wednesday 3rd August 2022 saw Unrefurbished, and prototype metrocar 4002 appear on Yellow Line Services on Train 121.
    The unrefurbs still active, (4002/4083/4040) at the time had a tendancy to stay exclusively on peak services and occasional green line ones, so them appearing on the yellow line was quite rare.
    And after not riding 4002 since 2018, I thought that this was my moment to ride it before it gets withdrawn, so off out I went, to ride and spot, Metrocar 4002.

    the unrefurbished trains could literally do normal services all the time just connect it to a refurb since the unrefurbs now have the refurb door tones etc

      I believe something to do with the coupling means refurbished and unrefurbished units cannot couple. I’m not entirely sure though. I don’t see them lasting much longer anyway, they’ll probably be the first to leave for withdrawal, however 4001 and 4002 are set for preservation.

      @@GarethsTravelVideos i mean normal ones could couple to 4040, 4001 and 4002 (maybe 4083)? in like 2010

      @@HMPeterHearty7818 They can’t due to couplers being slightly different in terms of the electrics. They could prior to the Wabtec refurbishment, and infact can couple today, but they wouldn’t be able to go in service like that.

    WHY DO I ALWAYS MISS IT I CAN NEVER GET ON IT 😭

      I normally never ride unrefurbs as I always miss them, which is unfortunate. I suggest joining a group on Facebook called "Tyne And Wear Metro Photography Group", where gen is often posted. That's how I figured out 02 was out.

    03:08 4002 with the new door alarm?

      Yeah it received the new alarm sometime in 2021 or 2022. 4040/83 also have the new alarm.
