Will the Newcastle Tyne metro trains be in service first. Should be less problems as its already driver only. Looking for introduction 2024/2025

I’ve never seen a cab ride of the Copy Pit line. It’s got very nice scenery and I think it’s well worth a watch Got to time stamp at around 27 minutes. Unfortunately the weather was not great.
