Yes, it does, although I'm not aware of us having a Tyne & Wear Metro representative who would depart the site due to the ignorance of users who continuously post negative things and don't listen to the counter-argument..?
Off the top of my head, I can't think of something which is highly commendable of the Tyne & Wear Metro system though? Without wishing to get this thread too off-topic, the implementation of 'new technology' on-board buses is something which I think is quite commendable. Significant investment from each of the big three is another...
The £389 million (or whatever the figure quoted is) project doesn't appear to have helped reliability of the Tyne & Wear Metro system, leaving customers with a woeful service which is a bit more pleasant to use as there isn't such a strong stench of urine. At peak times, you often have to run to another door to actually get on trains, and I've often wondered why more stock hasn't been invested in to allow for more trains during these peak periods...
We all have different opinions of what commendable things are, but the best thing I can think of for the Tyne & Wear Metro system right now is more staff being on-hand at stations, causing less people to evade buying tickets...
