The first new Metro trains roll off the Stadler production line for testing [Tyne and Wear Metro]
Date: 26/08/2022
The first new Tyne and Wear Metro trains have been completed by Stadler and are about to enter a crucial period of testing. Nexus, the public body which owns and operates Metro, said that first two new trains were now ready to roll off the production line in Switzerland. They will now go through a rigorous process of what is known as dynamic and static testing. The trains will then be sent to a larger test track in the Czech Republic to be put through their paces, and this is when some of the Metro drivers will get their first chance to drive one. New photos from the Stadler factory show the new Metro trains show the modern new carriage interior, with all of the new seats and handrails installed, complete with the iconic Metro logo. The first new train is set to arrive in North East England before the end of the year.
