New Metro trains back in action after door issue

THE Tyne and Wear Metro's new fleet of trains is being put back into service.

- DANIEL HOLLAND

Nine days after a problem with the Swiss-built trains’ doors forced transport bosses to pull them out of action, Metro operator Nexus has confirmed the problem has now been resolved.

An image circulated on social media last week showed one of the new fleet pulled into a station with doors open facing directly onto the tracks, which would pose a major safety concern.

That issue led to all five active Stadler trains, out of a total 46 which are due to be rolled out by the end of next year, being withdrawn from passenger service. However, it was announced on Wednesday afternoon that the new fleet was starting to be reintroduced to the Metro timetable.

It is understood that one train was put back into use yesterday, with hopes of another to follow today and the others over the next couple of weeks.
