RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - V514DFT - 18 Feb 2025 (18 Feb 2025, 8:11 pm)XQ Zero wrote The first new unit to operate to Sunderland and South Hylton in passenger service was introduced today, 18 February 2025. Exactly 2 months after it entered service on the Yellow Line RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DaveFromUpNorth - 18 Feb 2025 can the new trains use Sunderland Station or is there a step issue?

It tells u to mind the step when exit the train Also they had to move it to platform 1. This is due to i believe where the metro at Sunderland on platform 2 is on a curve so it would be kinda dangerous for passengers RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DaveFromUpNorth - 19 Feb 2025 (18 Feb 2025, 9:39 pm)Aaron21 wrote It tells u to mind the step when exit the train So not a step free access them shame for a wheelchair RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - Storx - 19 Feb 2025 (19 Feb 2025, 5:04 pm)DaveFromUpNorth wrote So not a step free access them shame for a wheelchair I can't comment on all the platforms or what the issue is but Sunderland's platforms are straight from what I can remember being down there especially 1, 3 and 4. I've never waited near 2 so can't comment on that one. It's the Stadium of Light which has the curved platform.

Platform 2 you had to step up from the door to platform lots of people didn't notice that while usually because they were looking at the phone and end up tripping over.

Could see how it could be an issue.

No doubt not integrated in to any of the bus operators systems and funded by the taxpayer.
