Doubt it, cars don't really stand a chance against even a metro, probably barely scratched.

(28 Jun 2023, 8:59 pm)Storx There's a few down for scrap as they're being used for christmas trees.

https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/met...590/page-5 - Good thread if you want to track Metro availability / scrap etc. 

It's ridiculous the number of trains off now hence the cancellations everywhere. The Metro needs dropped to every 15 minutes asap but they're burying their heads in the sand and pretending everything is alright which is just typical Nexus and blaming Stadler ofc since it's never Nexus' fault.

It’s not that simple. They can’t just change the frequency due to the fact that the slots on the shared line between Pelaw and Sunderland would have a knock-on effect on Northern and freight trains. That’s why any emergency timetable would see Sunderland line switch to an every 24 minute service under any emergency timetable.

I'm not sure it is that much of an issue, they done it back in 2020 with issues of driver's back then. As long as they gave some notice and kept it in for a long period - it needs to stay until the new fleet is in, not a short term botch then it would've went through. You have to remember there's the timetable recasts in May aswell which has just gone.

They've known about this for months, it's not just started overnight.

One of the new class 555 units (believed to be 555003) has ventured to South Hylton this morning. I understand this is the first time one of these units has operated on Network Rail lines under its own power. 
The following timetable was to apply.
00:59 South Gosforth to South Hylton arr 01:48,
01:53 South Hylton to Brockley Whins arr 02:15,
02:20 Brockley Whins to South Hylton arr 02:48,
02:48 South Hylton to Brockley Whins arr 03:10,
03:15 Brockley Whins to South Hylton arr 03:38 and
03:42 South Hylton to South Gosforth arr 04:32.

It has run as 2I81 on Network Rail infrastructure. There should be test trains, all running as 2I81, on 8th, 15th and 22nd July running to the above times. The first journey was late and did not arrive at South Hylton until about 02:25. Anyone looking at the www.realtimetrains.co.uk will find the schedules but not the actual times. The schedules have not been activated so actual times can not be picked up.

EDIT: 03:54. The second arrival at South Hylton was at about 03:30. The unit then ran straight back to South Gosforth thus one of the short return trips between South Hylton and Brockley Whins did not run.

New Metro train completes its first test run on the Sunderland line

[Image: 8.jpeg?itok=eZp56VhP]
3 July 2023
The new Stadler Metro train has completed its first test run along the Sunderland line.  
Nexus, the public body which owns and manages Metro, said the test had been successful and was part of the ongoing and detailed preparations to get the new fleet ready for customer service.
The first test through Sunderland took place in the early hours of Saturday, 1 July. 
It was the first time that the new train has been on the track between Pelaw and South Hylton, and the first time it has crossed the iconic Monkwearmouth railway bridge in the centre of the city. 
The testing was carried in conjunction with Network Rail, who own and manage the line beyond Pelaw. 
This the latest phase of the £362m new Metro fleet programme is currently taking place during the early hours of the morning when the Metro network is closed. 
The Stadler Class 555 Metro trains are undergoing a period of testing and driver training before entering service for customers. Two more new trains are set to be delivered late this month. 
The new Metro fleet will offer a comfortable, new, air conditioned, open plan layout, sleekly modelled interior, transforming the customer experience, while setting new standards for accessibility.
Major Projects Director at Nexus, Cathy Massarella, said: “I’m delighted to say that the new Metro train has completed its first test run on the Sunderland line. 
“This was the first time the new train had been taken on a run through Sunderland, and the first time it had gone across the Monkwearmouth bridge across the River Wear. 
“The testing of the new trains is going well, and we are working closely with our colleagues at Stadler so that we can get first new trains into service for our customers. 
“This is a very detailed and vital process of testing ahead of drivers starting their training on the new Class 555 Metro. 
“These trains will have to go through a phase of rigorous testing on our network, and all our drivers will need to undertake a period of train handling experience during the implementation phase of the project.
“Once the trains are in service they are going to be transformative for our customers and our workforce in terms of comfort, quality and reliability.
“Our customers, employees, specialist user groups and trade unions helped to design the new trains as part of a far-reaching consultation exercise that received 23,000 responses. We are getting a bespoke design from Stadler, with a sleek modern appearance, inside and out.”
Councillor Graeme Miller, Leader of Sunderland City Council, said: “This is fantastic news. The new Metro trains are a huge step forward in public transport, not just for our city but for the region. I’m delighted the first test run went so well and I am sure I speak for us all when I say that I can’t wait to see the new trains enter service.”
Stadler, the Swiss train manufacturer, are building a total of 46 new Metro trains on behalf of Nexus.
The fleet will enter service in phases and the aim is to have all of the new trains in service by 2025. 
Stadler has delivered three new trains to North East England so far, and more are set to arrive later this year.
The Class 555 Stadler train is a unique design for Metro and in the months ahead will undergo rigorous testing to ensure that it interfaces correctly with signalling systems and other Metro infrastructure. 
Metro drivers will also start a process of training at the controls of the new train.
The new trains have been designed and shaped by customers, and in response to vast consultation will include modern features such as linear seating, charging points, air conditioning and will deliver a step-change in accessibility.
Among the new features will be an automatic sliding step at every door to enable seamless boarding, making travel easier for Metro’s 50,000 wheelchair passengers as well as people with children’s buggies, luggage or bicycles.

If it's a bus ticket this is 100% what you do, from using Explorer tickets in the past. Never had problems with Metro staff, which can't be said by opposite bus operators.

Must admit, yesterday I got a U21 day ticket waved at me but it was purchased on GNE and it took me a while to work out even what it was (had to take it off him and proper study it).

"TNE 21 & Under 1 Day" vs what we print; "U21 One Day". Even the under 16 ones throw me sometimes.

It is a pity that not all operators standardised upon the name that was set by Transport North East - ‘21 and Under’ - as Go North East have.

‘Under 21’ implies it does not apply to those aged 21.

Aye must admit it doesn't help. The explorer tickets are all different aswell. The GNE tickets having Network One throw off Arriva drivers badly as they read Network One and then all alarms ring which can end up being an argument outside of Tyne and Wear.

Same here with a Stagecoach ticket. Had one flashed at me and took me a few seconds to work out what I was being shown. I do feel for the passengers in that situation, a problem easily solved if we had interoperable QR codes, if Stagecoach ever get QR readers on their machines that is.

(17 Sep 2023, 10:55 am)F114TML Must admit, yesterday I got a U21 day ticket waved at me but it was purchased on GNE and it took me a while to work out even what it was (had to take it off him and proper study it).

"TNE 21 & Under 1 Day" vs what we print; "U21 One Day". Even the under 16 ones throw me sometimes.

Same here with a Stagecoach ticket. Had one flashed at me and took me a few seconds to work out what I was being shown. I do feel for the passengers in that situation, a problem easily solved if we had interoperable QR codes, if Stagecoach ever get QR readers on their machines that is.

Where does the £3 go to is it split as I bought one bought it on the 21, used it on the Metro and SC so where does the money go?

Metro at Gateshead there was staff but at Jesmond there wasn't and at first I was worried that as I could see no staff we would not be able to get out but the barriers were open that was my only fear

If there is no staff at the station, barriers are left open

I believe it's pooled and then distributed to operators based on usage. At least that's what the sign in our depot says.

That re-assuring. Presumbly they are all shut after a period of time after the last train has came through
