the unrefurbished trains could literally do normal services all the time just connect it to a refurb since the unrefurbs now have the refurb door tones etc
I believe something to do with the coupling means refurbished and unrefurbished units cannot couple. I’m not entirely sure though. I don’t see them lasting much longer anyway, they’ll probably be the first to leave for withdrawal, however 4001 and 4002 are set for preservation.
@@HMPeterHearty7818 They can’t due to couplers being slightly different in terms of the electrics. They could prior to the Wabtec refurbishment, and infact can couple today, but they wouldn’t be able to go in service like that.
I normally never ride unrefurbs as I always miss them, which is unfortunate. I suggest joining a group on Facebook called "Tyne And Wear Metro Photography Group", where gen is often posted. That's how I figured out 02 was out.

Yeah it received the new alarm sometime in 2021 or 2022. 4040/83 also have the new alarm.
