(12 May 2015, 10:29 pm)Bus_User You keep saying 4001 looks a 'mess' but when I passed it yesterday, it looked fine too me. You got to remember, apart from the lower end front end, it has not had a repaint since 2005 so it will hardly look 'fresh'

(13 May 2015, 5:11 am)Dan I had wondered when it was last repainted last time I saw it.
Both it and 4002 are looking incredibly dated and tatty.
Signalling problems - delays across entire network.
Some trains are currently terminating at Bede, to allow the Metro immediately behind it continue through to South Shields.
Currently got an email sent to Nexus to ask if they've got any places left on the Metro railtour...

There are no trains running between Park Lane and South Hylton in both directions, this is due to a technical fault. We will update you once we have more information.

The bell which usually sounds before a stop is announced is continuously ringing on 4038. If there's anything worse than Next Stop Announcements, it's broken Next Stop Announcements!
A number of trains are having issues with the screens being defective, too, with an example taken this morning on 4012 attached.

(19 May 2015, 6:28 am)Dan Looks like I got lucky, then!
4002 is running on-time; dirt and horrible prototype doors aside, I am still of the opinion that it seems to be one of the smoother runners.
(19 May 2015, 6:16 am)Dan Sadly the doors are still one of the scruffiest things about the Metrocar... Do you know how often the Metros are washed, as the same dirt has been on this one now for over a month?
It is still paired with the old Emirates Metrocar today - on the 0714 journey to Airport from Stadium of Light.
