(18 Jun 2015, 7:24 pm)northern156 It's all very well saying 'purchase new trains' but DB Regio has said it wants tram-like trains next. This in itself would require extensive overhaul of the whole system (including track and signalling) which could well be more expensive than the modernisation itself.

Byker is closed and trains will not be stopping at this station until further notice. This is due to a technical fault. We will update you once we have more information.

(26 Jun 2015, 6:16 am)Dan 4039 - Destinations and Next Stop Announcements are not working.
4027 was seen yesterday on the western bypass being returned to N.Shields, on a low loader of course, not in service
(26 Jun 2015, 11:06 am)Dan Pretty sure 4083 gained this livery at the same time as the 403x series one.
I saw it quite a few weeks ago with the Emirates promotional livery, for sure.
(26 Jun 2015, 3:27 pm)Dan Yep - same one as the 403x example. Been like that weeks.
