I wonder what the new peak stock requirement is? ~74?

Also, a fantastic change to the timetable for those living on North Tyneside! 3 of the later services which used to terminate at Manors now terminate at Monument P4!
Had a look at the Manors timetable, and it suggests the Monument ones depart Manors P1, and terminate Monument P4? Surely that can't be right?!
Have seen 4002 shunting at the depot this morning with its pantograph raised, possible return to use imminent?
4040 and 4083 have also been in service all week
How has everyone found the new timetable?

Hi everyone, this is my first post here so sorry if it is irrelevant however i previously saw car 4001 mentioned in this forum.
To anyone who it may concern i recieved some information from Metro today via Email saying that the old girl is going to be back in service next week .
Probably so either 4040 or 4083 can relax, as they're out today again. Anything on 4002 ever coming back?
My metro was taken out of service this morning between Heworth and Felling because of a technical fault. Anyone know what it was?
Assume it was the same one I saw run empty through Gateshead around 8.30am, cars 4052 and 4034 on 126 originally for St James.
4052 was in complete darkness whereas 4034 was lit up as normal, so assume some sort of electrical fault?
Neither have I, since last September, i asked nexus through email and they said 4001 would be in service this week. Still haven't seen it though. Tbh I'm probably just looking at the wrong times as i haven't seen 4040 and 4083 either aha.I've note seen 4001 for ages, but 4040 and 4083 have been out quite a bit on the peak shorts (I've had them twice in the last week).
Just an update on my 4001 messages, so i found out the number i was given by Metro was the customer relations number and during my call to them i was told that they don't actually have the information on what cars are in service! To top it all off i sent another Email to the person who originally replied and got an auto response saying they are out of office until June 20th 2016, as we all know THIS DATE HAS LONG GONE!! I think I'm just going give up and face that 4001 is probably dying (Along with Metro's communication) and I'll probably not see her again, although if i do it would be great

Ahh thanks for the info, i hope to see it soon then aha, just wondering by the way, is there only two sets of unrefubished units??4001 was in the shed and has since been removed as far as I could see. They'll probably be back but the reduced need for for trains and that they only run 1 set of unrefurbished trains means it may be a while!

Seem to be a lot of problems lately. Just proceeded at 1mph from Monument to Haymarket with all the lights on in the tunnel, driver announcing it was because of a reported track defect.
When did Sharon Kelly (now Keith) leave DBRTW to become the Arriva Rail North Regional Director? She'll be bringing a lot of fantastic management and decision making experience over...
