Metro in Newcastle, UK - Tyne and Wear Metro 2016

It opened in 1980 and in 2007-2008 provided 40 million public journeys on its network of 74.5 kilometres (46.3 mi). It is the second largest of the three metro systems in the United Kingdom, after the London Underground; the other being Glasgow Subway.

Thanks 😦

I always love your videos man. Great job every time.

I appreciate the comment! Thank you

I get the metro Gateshead to Tyne Dock every weekday at 07:25. I always grab the seat right at the front whenever it's available (it usually is). At 07:20 every morning, the Airport metro pulls into platform 2 at Gateshead with passengers packed into it like sardines; it is always crammed full.

[@brianmorrison9168]

Yes, always packed at rush hour and on Saturday mornings. I don't know why the trains are so short. There are always two 'double carriages' although some of the platforms could easily take much longer trains. Some of the original stations would have to be extended though.

[@forza223bowe5]

Brian Morrison The trains are so infrequent, if they ran every 2 minutes there would be far more capacity

[@unknown-im2bh]

London Underground isn’t a metro it’s a tube Also there’s one in Glasgow

[@Cazkumali]

I went on this yesterday for the 1st time in my life I got a Daysaver zone A for £3 Two zones is £4.10 (Day Saver) All Three is £5.10 (Day saver) A single is £1.50 It was A Good service

[@collectivelyimprovingtrans2460]

I love the 1500 Volt DC Overhead wire system

I moved from Gateshead last year, I loved the metro. Used to like going to Tynemouth, spending some time at the beach, then getting the ferry from North to South Shields. It deserves way more funding, the rolling stock is far too old.

[@highlander5634]

The rolling stock is getting replaced in a few years I think.

[@K-o-R]

A lot of the cars sound like they need a trip to the wheel lathe workshop.

[@Lighting_Desk]

I miss fighting a child for the front seat.

[@bobpoobrain1793]

Which is quicker. South Gosforth to Ilford Road or Sunderland to Park Lane

[@jlroyale4306]

@@jlroyale4306 Trams aren't enough to serve a city as big as Manchester, especially when it's the bare minimum tram service to begin with.

[@erwannleligerien3771]

It's not really a metro but a tram.

[@seer4013]

Lewis Smiles it's an underground tram lol

[@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV]

It got the same Metro standard as in Barcelona. Many Spanish cities does have overhead also. So it is a metro but not with third rail etc

[@holnrew]

It's technically light rail

[@AB-im4bz]

Lewis Smiles that's not a definition of a tram, many trams in EU go underground to avoid traffic in busy areas and it's not a metro it's a tram in a tunnel

[@forza223bowe5]

It’s not a tram, it’s a train.

[@railfangig6699]

Who in their right mind came up with such a drab livery, the Manchester metrolink and Merseyrail are not much better either.

[@coololly]

im guessing you dont like black/grey and yellow

[@tinntinn1018]

Actually the metro is one of the U.K.s most visible brands

[@adamsmailes5484]

It used to be a lovely cream and yellow, followed by yellow and eather red or green. These days it is the crappy grey and yellow, because NEXUS have it in there heads that they are similar to TfL

Tyne and Wear is the cheapest Metro system I've ever been on. Almost every station has no ticket barriers so every journey is FREE! No wonder it makes no money and has asked Central Government for funding. INSALL TICKET BARRIERS!

Well it's hardly a metro, it's Morrison's trams in tunnels. Pretending to be metro
