RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - deanmachine - 27 Dec 2025
It's getting to the point now that whenever I get the metro it's a new one, and will only see one or two old metrocars knocking about en route.

Got my first one the other day.
Glad it was only a short trip.
Im not the biggest bloke in the world, but those sideways seats weren't designed for sitting between two big blokes.
Dear me.
Not very pleasant at all.

Yeah I felt bad sitting next to a lass the other day like I was taking up some of her space, even with my 7 year old on the other side of me.
