A new temporary depot which has been built to welcome the Tyne and Wear Metro's new £362m train fleet has officially become operational.
The Howdon site in North Tyneside will be used to on-track the new Metro trains from 2022, and for maintenance of the current rolling stock while the main Gosforth depot in Newcastle is completely rebuilt.
Nexus, the public body which owns and manages Metro, said it was another step in the process of getting new Metro trains “ which will transform the customer experience when they start entering service.
