4045 has been undergoing an 'D' exam which as the poster above rightly say is where the unit is split into two and everything is basically checked out.
Of course no surprises that yet more false information is being posted onto the net by the guy who did the youtube video...

It was originally due to be back in service at the end of april early may and something delayed it,the bloke who posts the videos is a bit of an idiot anyway,has no up to date videos and when you ask him a question he ignores you, he just posted a video of 4060 going for refurbishment,that was months ago,theres one of 4014 coupled to 4080,4080 i think is currently paired with 4067,and i dont know what 4014 is coupled to

If you have a different experience then that's fine but please don't spread unqualified comments on forums where people may be unable to respond.Well thats your opinion,ive already had one arguement today and dont wish to have another so you do your thing and i will do mine but remember one thing, seeing and being are totally different,moving on now,it was January 4045 last seen service ive just remembered, it pretty much disappeared when it was uncoupled from 4004 when it went for refurbishment, nice to see it back in service properly

Has anyone else heard the new on-board announcements on the Metro? I quite like them, although I'd prefer them to be spoken in proper sentences rather than so robotically. Thoughts?
