- The second part of the Tyne & Wear Metro system shows us the Yellow line from South Shields to St. James.
Uniquely we get to see the Yellow line's pretzel configuration at Mounment passing through the station twice.

UnbelievableyI!... How awesome this metro vision is best of these trains!!! Very exceptional, buddy! God bless this... (Oh dear!!) 😎👍
Thanks for this - I lived in Newcastle when the Metro opened (popular name at the time, Metro Radio, Mini Metro car, even Metro Cammell who made the rolling stock) and I loved it - West Jesmond was my local station. Sadly we moved away in 1982 before it had fully come into its own and I’ve only been on for a ride on Metro a couple of times since, but this was nostalgic for me and I’m glad to see it’s gone from strength to strength.
Very impressed! Nice to see a high-quality video of our local Tyne and Wear Metro system.
Did you know if you look out the window at hebburn on the way to pelaw you’ll see a yellow crane that’s where I live
Just a quick note about local pronunciation: the name of the district near Gateshead, Pelaw, is pronounced with the accent on the second syllable, thus Peláw.
Thanks for a great and interesting video. I also conclude that sweatpants is the preferred wear of passagers … travel in leisure.
The Green and Yellow videos were the most sophisticated video cab rides I have seen on CZcams with cab view and station views interspersed plus the commentary and CC. I followed the rides on Railway Track Diagrams and it was great. My only complaint was cutting the cab views before and after stations and on the seascape past Whitley Bay. I'm afraid the entry and exit to stations is for me the most vital part of a cab ride. I know you made it flow in real-time but this way we missed most of the entries and exits, which are vital to me.
I’ve just recently came across this, but it’s absolutely brilliant and an informative and high quality documentary of our great metro system :)
The metro is a good system,I have a respect for the original Tyne & wear PTE before privatisation with its yellow and white buses and metro cars it looked modern and efficient and northern general in its yellow version of NBC livery then privatisation and deregulation came when I think of Tyneside its this plus the tube and razzmatazz from Tyne tees TV superb
Why did Newcastle just work before Thatcher its like we wanna get moving and we are the way ahead
Very impressive Paul!
Well put together video, nice watch
Great video was due to be up here this week, had this complete ride on my bucket list and got to do it last August in both directions excellent value for money, great information and off train video to go with it. Will be watching this a lot
I've ridden the Green Line many times from South Hylton upwards but never ever been on the Yellow Line. Will have to give it a go just for fun sometime.
Buy a day saver ticket for zones A+B+C and you could spend all day on the metro .. AND .. on the ferry too. The heworth to Sunderland 'normal train' can also be used with this ticket. I live in Whitley Bay and have done that several times
Thanks for these interesting and informative videos, the quality of the commentary is also great. 👍
Nice vid....leamside was still used for passenger diversions into the late 80s.
Nice informative video, well done. Agree with what you say about passenger information screens at Monument. Very confusing for the unaware/non-local traveller as to which platform to use to go towards Tynemouth etc. One long way around, one much shorter. Surprising this difficulty has not been addressed.
Chi was a new station on a new alignment, constructed for the metro. The original BR line followed a different route after leaving the original Tyne Dock station.
Really informative video. Thank you.
If you stand in any of the shops on Grey Street or around monument and wait patiently, you can feel the Metro pass along below you every 6 or so minutes ^3^ it can faintly rattle your cup in the Starbucks across from Central Station too :D
Although an Athletics stadium, Gateshead Stadium is principally used for Football, being the home ground of Gateshead FC
My feel-good video! Great job, as always.
These are very good videos. The added commentary adds a whole new dimension. I look forward to some more light rail videos if you're able to.
David Bull yes I will do what I can, either in this country or somewhere else in the road. Any suggestions let me know
Brilliant video!
I love your Intro
Gateshead is my favourite
Maybe I misheard but it sounded as if you called Stadium "Old Ford" when it was actually "Old Fold".
Very good, enjoyed this, it's Video 125 quality. One question, why did they stop at St James? Why not tunnel further west?
Down to cost unfortunately as tunnels are very expensive and only the spoilt child that is London gets everything it wants!
Love the narration you put on the videos. I have one request by the way, can you do the Thameslink route from Cambridge to Brighton please? Thank you and happy 2020
NYCkid38 LOL that is something I can look into for the future :)
I did not know brockley whins interconnected with Tyne dock
13:45 wonder if the pigeons made it lol
BTR up to Morpeth due for reopening with "mainline" trains mid 20s
Fabulous video! PS.... Heaton TMD = 'Train Maintenance Depot', not 'Track Maintenance Depot' as stated. :)
Was a very good video enjoyed watching it. Is there another video featuring the Green line South Hylton To Airporr line
There is indeed! It’s the airport to south Hylton it’s on channel. The second recent video
How can I get a trainee job here, it seems impossible to get in! Any tips?
Do frieght from felixstowe north FLT to garston FLT
7:16 unlike simonside? I thought you said Simonside was new? I’m confused? Great video though!
Really enjoyed "travelling" on this route far away from the South Coast where I live. Very good captions and historical commentary as well. The lineside/platform shots add greatly to the appreciation of the journey.
By the way ... here in Sussex the locals also call Chichester "Chi" ... (Chy) ... small world isn't it?
Split the yellow line into two services.
They did
Walkergate’s my local
yep dat is eine metro the me auch gefellt weiter so
How far beyond the platform at St. James do the tracks continue?
elirosen1391 Not much further past the red signal you can just see, you can only just fit a whole metro set down there before it’s on the platform put it that way. 👍🏻
There's actually a CZcams video showing a special train going to the end of the run off tunnel.......not that far!
@@stephenvarty191 do you know whose channel it's under?
48th comment 48 is my lucky number
Wrong it’s Colchester in Essex not spelt the same as Chichester.
Lol! .....there's a Colchester and a Chichester in the South. Both different places. Obviously it's Chichester that he was comparing with Chichester in the North East - not Colchester!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichester?wprov=sfla1
Very poor system, with frequent delays
What delays??
