They can't be tracked officially, but there is a Discord Group you can join called Tyne and Wear Transport Community where people post sightings each day. People also sometimes post on Facebook Tyne and Wear Metro Photography Group or on the RailUK forums.
They don't seem to be regular running boards either. It changes daily. The number of sets running also changes daily, sometimes as low as zero (but I think that has only happened during engineering work), other times 5 or 6 sets out.
Thanks. It's disappointing they can't be tracked. Sad in way to see them all scrapped after so many years of service. Noticed the new ones don't have the running numbers displayed.
