Tyne and Wear Metro - Metrocar 4075 goes for Refurbishment

What a fantastic video Alex....really enjoyed that. Its amazing how they seem to get these manouvres right first time every time now. Glad the load didn't do a 'Torvill and Dean' acrosss Coach Lane in the wintry conditions :-)

Thank you very much Allan, yes it definitely takes some skill to weave a Metro through the streets of Newcastle, but I guess practice makes perfect, and they're doing it no bother now. It was weird seeing it slip down the ice on the gradient of the roundabout though!

So, None Of The New Trains Will Have A Livery Like That?

[@AlexMetroman]

It was only that Metrocar carrying that livery in the first place.

[@AlexMetroman]

Thank you very much! Some people eh?

[@DelticFilms]

Jeez shannon get a hold of it. ;3

[@JL-rx6hl]

why do these trains get moved by truck and not by rail which they are designed to travel on???????

[@AlexMetroman]

It's cheaper.

[@Konkacha]

That says a lot about the state of our railways.

[@Sarge084]

There's something wrong when Network Rail and service operators are more expensive road transport. As fun as it is to watch these moves you have to ask, is it safer, and is the inconvenience caused to road users really worth it?

[@deezelfairy]

I suppose it depends where its going, there may not be any direct railroute. Unit may have been decommissioned/have faults for some time and not fit for mainline service.

Nice one...

[@AlexMetroman]

I know.
