Tyne and Wear Metro, operated by Nexus and Stadler is a Metro system based in Sunderland and Newcastle mainly in Tyne and Wear in the UK 🇬🇧. The current Metro fleet Class 994 or Class 599, is soon to be replaced by Stadler rail Class 555. Some other metro systems in the Uk include the London Underground and DLR in London and Merseyrail in Liverpool. Thanks for watching my videos! Please consider subscribing for daily metro content!

Wow! It looks really smart. Thank you for sharing.
The door closing sounds like the LNER
The livery makes it look old though, i thought they would have brought out a new livery
A very unusual case of the replacement trains being louder than their predecessors. I was amazed when I visited the Metro by the apparently completely silent trains. I listened as hard as I could but the motors are totally drowned out by ambient and track noise!
Weird how the current trains are so silent. The occasional train has a bit of a whine or growl
Out of interest, why does the Metro use km/h when heavy rail is mph? I suppose changing it over to mph would be too much trouble now, but it's always been an anomaly.
Thats a great question and I don't actually know the answer. I assume that it might have been how metro was built/complications.
I think it was down to the late 1970s when it was expected the UK would become metric, but that never happened
@@Matty12333 Yes, I can remember in school we were switching to using metric units for maths and science, but were told in 1979, full metrication wouldn't happen for at least 10 years. I suppose the Metro had been planned for a metric railway that never happened elsewhere.
@@Glenn1967ful It's interesting because Crossrail is a new railway but they use mph
Do you know when these new Tyne and Wear Metro Class 555 will be in service.
Supposed to come in effect of the final quarter for this year
@@Andrewjg_89 end of the year it’s been said publicly however staff are starting to say early 2025 now
Probably next year
@@Matty12333 The rollout is supposed to be across 2025 and finalising in 2026
I now wish i had waited 2 more days before going to Kingston Park (although there again there is no guarantee I would have seen it)
this was recorded 2 days ago. I was there with him.
@@CM_Railways I probably could have worded it better
I am aware this was recorded 2 days ago, i was at Kingston park 4 days ago
@@pineappleroad ah
I’m sure you will see it eventually!
