A scheme that is costing Nexus money, because its out of scope of the Govt scheme buses are signed up to. Yet on the other hand, they're trying to justify an inflation-busting fare hike.
Outrage at 'insulting' 13.9% Tyne and Wear Metro fare increase after months of train disruption

(27 Feb 2023, 1:59 pm)Adrian wrote EE users, and users of any virtual operators that use their network, have been able to get 4G/5G in the central section tunnels for a while now. It works perfectly from my experience.
I thought it'd have been a partnership, but it was pointed out to me that it was installed and is maintained commercially by EE. At least the proof of concept is there now, if any other operators decide to do the same.

Saw what looked like two Metro trains on the side of the A1 tonight
(28 Feb 2023, 7:34 pm)Storx wrote Nexus wouldn't accept the delivery if there was graffiti mind. It was removed at Tyne Yard by Arriva Care hence it coming in clean on the video after you posted. Believe they refused units in the refurbs which had been tagged.

Also what about driver change overs how do they do that?
God hope that none break down in the coming 5 days
