Agree, Its gone from bad to worse with now Daily train withdrawing's and Technical Fualts.
Nexus only Refurbished already Life Expired Units so they didn't have to ask for more funding from Government, Which would probably would've gotten rejected.
Though that is starting to bite back now.

Something to note is we never got extra Metrocars for the Sunderland line and we were meant to have 120 metro cars and Platforms capable of having 3-car trains.

Tyne and Wear Metro
Remember if you are travelling this Sunday, 28th February, there are no trains between Airport & South Gosforth in both directions all day. A frequent bus replacement service will be operating. This is to allow us to carry out modernisation work to track drainage and track maintenance on the level crossing at Callerton.
