I do belive Monument is also a rare case of the same train passing the same station twice on the same route, Not sure if this happens much elsewhere.

The newsstand was in front of the panels and was never built into the station. All underground stations have a basement/void areas with Gateshead being the biggest. The progress on that has been slow it's been awhile since anything has been said or done, The travel shop at Four Lane Ends is...

The new fleet will consist of 84 carriages (42 trains) so yeah I do belive it will be a Walk-Through type sets.

A lot of stuff out there for the Metro system, On youtube you had two interesting documentaries one called Tyne and Wear Metro: Clocking Up The Kilometres (1989) and Metro - The way ahead.

What they should do in monument is raise the roof to make it feel bigger, also been told that they are reinstating a passage way next to Sainsburys not sure how or were it will go.

National Rail Tickets use different code from the Metro issued tickets. Also been told its not possible. Only Network One tickets compatible are with the barriers are Weekly ones and apparently soon 4 weekly ones.

2 Metro cars in Emirates Livery been on for awhile now. Other day I spotted on the roof of 4026 that it still has the Braathens SAFE logo on one end of the roof.

All the new revenue devices work on Windows XP. The ticket machines, The pop card validators and the barriers.

Also if you look at North Shields station above the stairs leading down to the platforms also has passenger counters as well.

There should be extra trains running for the Rihanna concert and the North East live on Saturday.

All stations with barriers will have two staff members with the exception of monument which will have three.
