Hi all, Now it's March, here's a reminder of the fleet refurbishment list. If there's any other metrocars which have been refurbished that I've missed off, please let me know and I'll add them to the list. Cheers UPDATED: Monday 2nd March 2015 4001 Prototype (Will not be refurbished) 4002...

With 4003 now off to Doncaster for refurbishment, it now leaves just 9 Metrocars left to be refurbished. Once refurbishment works are complete, will free WiFi be installed across all of the Metros? It's been long overdue, considering several buses already have this installed, so I can't...

Thanks Tez for your help So, as of Saturday 17th January 2015, here is the latest fleet refurbishment list: At the rate these are getting refurbished, it looks like all, excluding those 4, should be complete by about June/July, if not sooner. If any has any more information in the future of...

Hi all, Been a while since I was last on here due to work commitments so I've been catching up with what's been going on. Tez last updated the list back on 14th September 2014. If someone could help to update the list or if Nexus Comms could provide any info please do. Thanks in advance...

Just noticed on Twitter that another account has been set up to highlight how bad the Metro is recently (@TW_MetroDelays). Judging by the comments/tweets, it seems there are lots of unhappy people who don't rate the quality of the Metro service at the minute :rolleyes:

Hi all, I have noticed that the website; http://www.thetrams.co.uk/tyneandwear/trains/ used to keep a list of the Metro fleet. As a suggestion, could we combine what knowledge of what Metros are Refurbished and which ones are older rolling stock onto this list on The Trams website? Let me...

Does anyone know if anymore metros have gone down to Doncaster or have returned to service? Any help would be appreciated. I'll update the list towards the weekend. Many thanks to all who have contributed :D

Has anyone heard anymore about the metrocars which are at Doncaster for refurbishment? I haven't heard anything lately about the metro cars returning to go back into service. Also, have any new metrocars been spotted heading down there? Here are a current list which I have of metrocars...

I've updated the list of revamped stations. It appears I was wrong about the Airport and Callerton Parkway stations, they now carry the new White and black Metro branding. There are still some stations which I don't know if they have been repainted and had old signs and panels removed and...

Hi all, Does anyone know which Metro stations have been refurbished since the 'All Change' programme began back in 2010? We'll have to gather a list of those refurbished/upgraded and those which are due to be revamped within the next year. So far, I understand that the following stations...

Hi Paul_10, ModernRailways and rg177. Thank you so much for your help. At least I've got an understanding of what units are currently refurbished and which ones aren't. Hopefully we can keep adding to this as more Metros go in for refurbishment in the coming months. In relation to the 4...

Hi all, I've set up a new thread about the Tyne and Wear Metro regarding a list of Fleet which have been refurbished. If any of you travel on the metro in the near future and/or have any knowledge already of which Metro's are refurbished and which are still old model's please could you...
