The Tyne and Wear Metro is using drone technology to keep the network in tip top condition.
For the first time ever maintenance teams are taking to the skies using drones to monitor Metros 77 kilometres of infrastructure.
The drone, which is a tiny unmanned aircraft, provides a live video-feed to an operator, who then uses special software, with more accuracy than the human eye, to identify any issues with the network.
