(26 Feb 2023, 10:45 pm)deanmachine wrote Yeah, just put 4G or 5G in the tunnels is all I'm really bothered about. Nothing worse than sitting about on the platform at Monument for 15 minutes with no signal.

(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.

(27 Feb 2023, 9:04 pm)omnicity4659 wrote No deliveries are rejected due to graffiti. It's to be expected with all new deliveries worldwide as there is a bounty on trains that haven't been tagged yet.

(27 Feb 2023, 6:25 pm)Storx wrote Should be easy enough to do, even the London Underground has phone signal in the stations now and they're a warren of tunnels compared to the Metro which is pretty simple in comparison.

(06 Mar 2023, 12:51 am)streetdeckfan wrote Are they transporting the trains by road?
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.

(06 Mar 2023, 3:44 pm)deanmachine wrote Nope via rail from Switzerland.

(17 Mar 2023, 6:25 pm)Michael wrote Tyne and Wear Metro FB page did a live video earlier, showing and giving people information about the new trains

(30 Mar 2023, 7:50 pm)Unber43 wrote The Metro is currently closed between Brockley Wins and Jarrow, and they said there will be trains between Brockley Wins and South Hylton, but are they just the trains which are currently stuck on that line and can't go to the depot. Also what about driver change overs how do they do that?

God hope that none break down in the coming 5 days
