Who else came here from @PhilosophyTube ?✌ Watching this from Sweden and enjoying every bit! This is what public service tv is for
Literally, and I spent my semester abroad/Erasmus+ in Sunderland back in 2016! :D
Hey can you link her video I can’t find which one:)
@@user-jm5oj7iz2bit's her most recent one, the one featuring not just bikes
I return here once every few years, I think it's a morbid curiosity deep within that I cannot shake off. This to me, is what Hawaii is to a wondering Albatros
aye son.
The cultural impact this has had can't be denied - no joke a literal masterpiece.
This will have a surge of views very soon thanks to Abigail ❤️
I hope so! My friend was in this
I played this while my wife and I conceived. She gave birth to two healthy wheely bins.
This is the best comment I think I have ever seen
Brilliant.
YEs
How's the wheely bins doing?
Wheely well, I'd hope ;)
It's been 10 years, why does this still pop into my head sometimes?
It's called PTSD.

Hi to all the folks comin' here from Abigail's Philosophy Tube video.
I do not care what anyone else says this is ten minutes of my life i will remember for ever this even won an award well done!!
I love community art projects. This is so neat.
It's like smoking, I'm pretty sure it's giving me cancer but I can't help coming back to watch it
So high. So bright. So Clean.
Jonny Eveson And it ain’t clean anymore!
@The CZcams Judgenever was to start with
*This has been a spiritual awakening*
Jerusalem syndrome
This gives the Coventry Market song a run for its money. The BBC really had a sweet idea with these local social history musicals!
The person who green-lighted this must've been Me-Me-Me-Me-Me-Me-Mental!
They wanted this song up on CZcams since n-n-nineteen e-Eighty
This is the most cringe thing Ive ever watched, love it.
Took me a few rewatches to notice this, but if you listen closely to where they all sing together, there actually singing the station names
(Byker, cullercoats, north sheilds, Whitley Bay, etc.
EDIT: whilst watching the credits, it says:
GAFFER
Tony Cook
For those who don’t know, gaffer is a north eastern slang for ‘boss’
i was part of metro the musical and I am very proud of what we done it was a lot of hard work and long hours I would do it all over again it was one of the best things I have done
This song has truly inspired me, my soul has begun to stir in excitement and joy at this extremely fantastic celebration of all that is Tyne and Wear Metro. I can only hope a sequel is made.
Pyrorai my mum produced this and she says no way
Number One Bus: The Odessey
Me too
sounds like a eurovision entry
I've probably watched this maybe 10-15 times over the last 6 years, and I have only just noticed that the woman at 1:41 is carrying a ferret...
Nick omg same
I always thought it was a dog
furret need to res leg from walcc so take metro wif hooman
i was in this film, had a great time and the after party was better (although i thought there was a buffet but there was not) i had no tea in expectation, some of the girls were pretty
Who are you in the video?
People should remember this was made with local people who have worked really hard and put a lot of effort in to this. We should be proud of them and proud of this fantastic video. It's great for the North East AND it raises money for Children in Need with the sale of the DVDs!
To the haters: give us your ideas of how to celebrate the north east.
I was part of the production team in this project. I must say I'm very proud of how it's turned out.
Really? Was the brief to create the most cringeworthy representation of the North East?
An article about this metro in my Spring 2022 issue of Jacobin Magazine brought me here. Most excellent! Kudos to all from a Yank in the American Southwest!
Every few months I accidentally quote a lyric.
Jonny Eveson you won’t catch me with no £20 fine 😤😤😤
Not accidentally though
Happy 40th birthday Tyne and Wear Metro!!!
Back again. I love how the lyrics for this song were released under the freedom of information act. Now I know what the choir bit is!
I've been looking for them to no avail, could you maybe send me a link or inbox me them?
@@drewsmithbass 7 years later. Can say it is just all the stations on the yellow line Monument via Whitley bay
Happy 40th birthday Tyne and Wear Metro!
i realy don't understand why people are hating on this so much. it's fun, positive and shows a community's celebration for a public service. it's definitely not the sort of music i'd pay to listen to but that's really not the point is it? well done everyone involved : )
I’m so glad I found this, it’s nothing short of a masterpiece
this is the most surreal thing I've ever seen
So moving, with everyone giving their utmost and, most of all, the genius that is the music of Ben Till.
This perfectly captures the experience of riding the metro...on acid.
I've rode the metro on acid haha
I remember 8 years ago my mom sended me this video when I was 5 because she knew how much I love the Tyne and wear metro such good memories back then. It's great to revisit this video again it gives me a sense of nostalgia of the 2010s good times😎
After all the effort these people put into this and the HATERS have to hate and dislike a piece of fun.
Benjamin Till does it again: Brings out the best of British; the best of people and gives us sheer enjoyment. Magnificent..
I love watching this video, it gives me goosebumps!
I wish I was this happy every time I got on the metro omg I can't breathe hahahaha
A lovely musical of what I think is the most enjoyable metro to travel on in the world!
Until you pass through Howdon.
@@andrew1984uk 🤣🤣🤣
I watch this video Every day
They all are really proud about this great metro!!!!!
to everyone not from the north east watching this
i swear it's not this fucked
Try Glasgow and it buses then, then you'll the definition of fucked xD
I honestly don't understand what all the annoyance is over. I was an exchange student in the Sunderland for about a week and absolutely loved it. It was so much better than America, and the disposition of the people was so much more welcoming that what it is here in America. I honestly don't see the embarrassment, this is awesome!
Hi, it's 2023, I'm back again. Love this sm ❤
It's going to take me ages to get over this... ages.
This makes me want to change species
I quote this on all of my official documents, Dominic!
It's 2017 and I'm still obsessed with this
T, T Tyne & Wear Metro, the subterranean yo-yo! Love that line!
It's very uplifting to see all these people enjoying themselves doing something fun and worthwhile. Excellent.
I'm looking for clarification about the story about Chelsea. Did her mate give the guard person Chelsea's name even though it wasn't even Chelsea at all? Or did Chelsea give her mate's name? Or did Chelsea give her OWN name? This prays on my mind a lot, anyone who knows more about this naughty Nexus secret, I'd love to hear from you.
I trust in the year since you wrote this post, you have found out the answer to the Naughty Nexus Secret. If you haven't allow me, as the writer, to ride in on my silver horse to save the day and give you peace of mind when you sleep at night. The lass singing is NOT Chelsea. Chelsea is her mate, and when the lass singing was stopped on the Metro for not having a ticket, she gave the guard Chelsea's name instead of her own. Chelsea then got into trouble. Horrifying. I can feel your shock. Basically it's tantamount to crying witchcraft... "I saw Goody Proctor with the devil..." Never tell me Metro the Musical isn't imbued with dark, brooding truths about life. Like Cathy Come Home on speed.
Sooiu
Benjamin Till So you are responsible for this...
@@Benjamintill give me peace of mind by getting back on your horse
This is BRILLIANT! It is so great to see a community united in music!
my little George the ferret loved it !!!
Holy shit, genuinely amazing, well done
fabulous - thanks to all involved. brought a tear to my eye xx
I wish I'd been a part of this. It just keeps drawing me back... It shouldn't be this great!
I love watching this video every time!
'Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk'
Is this a public information film warning against the evils of hallucinogenic drugs?
I absolutely love this
transcendental. love it.
As an exxpat living away, congrats to the makers...loved it and brings back great memories
Last week I saw a man on the metro drinking a can of fosters at quarter to 8 in the morning.
i remember my mom showed this to me as a kid I loved it thats how I always loved taking the tyne and wear metro cuz the song was too inspiring for me as a kid
I'm from the south and this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Thank you :)
top notch
Much love from algeria
i mean it's alright but it's no Coventry Market with all kinds of everything xD
brilliant. "squeezed onto the carriage and into m y heart" geordie gold. love it
This is so great
OMG, I cannot unsee it...
I loved this. It's wonderfully put together and I loved the evocative composition. It made me laugh with its tongue in cheek humour and made me cry because I was so moved by the commitment of the extraordinary people who featured in the film. This is a true community project and everyone involved should be very proud.
I cried too to be fair, but for other reasons.
I LOVE IT
I love this
GREAT STUFF
So good I crapped my pants.
Love this
I'm form newcastle and I get the metro all the time i think this song is great you should do another song
I've been on the metro today pelaw to South Shields
+Pro Gamer nice
+Pro Gamer same
Talk about a stairway to heaven.
Disappointed we didn't get to meet "Stan Cleer".
More people need to like this comment!!!
I wish ‘Mandy Gap’ starred in this.
Incredible!
is really good. well done
its brilliant!
How have I not seen this before
how could the metro time all this so well but cant get a train out more than every 90 minuites....
this is my favourite song
What a performance.
gives me shivers
Make another one !
Im on Kirklees Youth Council (Yorkshire) and we went up to Gateshead to meet their youth council. We watched this and we love it haha.
love it
Metro apologises for this
Ya ma apologises for your profile picture
I would love to see any of you lot try and do a better job! I took part in this, and I'm very proud to say that I did. So many people from the North East put in an unbelievable amount of effort to show people that this is what the North East is; a great place full of great people. If you all think you can do better, don't just sit on your keyboard leaving negative comments to us. Get up and do something, if not please be quiet and take your negativity elsewhere.
new jam!
i literally cant stop laughing!
Oh come guys, lighten up! I love it. It rocks. Metro rocks...as does the Manchester Metrolink and I use both of them.
I am watching this and wishing that I could have been there to take part. It has the thumbs up from me. OK then, I wonder if Benjamin Till would like to try something similar for Manchester Metrolink.
It actually puts you off using the metro hahahaha
This is the best video I have ever seen. I thought Michael Jackson's videos were great but now I've seen this, I'm amazed. I cannot believe this isn't getting played on all the satellite TV channels all over the world. Doesn't MTV know about this? The music does remind of the eighties. So much great music then like The Nolans and Saxon, The Goombay Dance Band. I'd love Benjamin Till to export some British class from the UK to places where they know nothing about music like Russia.
That's unfair. Never heard of Tatu?
Ja de haben sich richtig viel Mühe gegeben ich mag diesen Film ich könnt mir ihn immer angucken.
Move over, The Jam. There’s a new king of underground songs
