Best bet, is to find bridges or crossings.
In Jesmond and a few other places on North Tyneside, there are a lot of streets with houses which run alongside the tracks.
(30 Jun 2014, 5:42 pm)Dan wrote I've never had an issue with photographing Metros.
I've taken photographs in front of Nexus staff before, and they seemingly haven't cared.
The photo I took at South Gosforth was taken whilst about three Metro staff were standing there next to me. I got on the next Metro and moved on.

(05 Jul 2014, 7:56 am)Robert wrote God i remember seing a picture of the train that livery. Is it one of the first ever advertising liveries. I know we're going back a bit but it might have been at least 1991 when the Airport extension was around. Ill follow this up.

Airport is also open so was either first seen in 1991 or was branded before hand but remained around for the Airport extension opening.

Definately one of the first advertisement liveries, if not the first.
Saying that, struggling to think of the ones which followed in the following few years after.
There may have been a Metroland livery - but not sure on others.
