The 555s and 777s are made by the same company Stadler, so stop saying they stole everything because you cant steal from yourself, and companies cant steal from their own company either
I got to admit love the new 555's the only criticism I would make is that they should have had a mixture of linear and airline seats as what is on the class 345 Elizabeth line trains but definitely a smart looking train
@@pj6641 agreed, the airline seats on the 994s are rlly good when with friends and theres 3 of us
You lost me at “please pin”
I totally agree with you. Well said.
Exactly
Its amazing how much quieter they seem to be and less rattly too
Hope they are less rattly. I worked on the brake systems for the old units down in Wiltshire. They were introduced when I was still at school 1980 and I’ve been retired now for nearly 3 years. Amazingly travelled on them for the first time last month. Question is will these new units still be running in 43 years time? As Blur once said modern life is rubbish. Also worked on the new Hitachi units replaced old HSTs but actually go a lot slower in diesel mode, yes their acceleration is very impressive on spark but not used between Newbury & Penzance. Anyway there you go see ya I’m off to Switzerland next month for a 1912 spark on the Rhb
Will be amazing considering i live pretty much on a metro line
i like how they also have the distinctive M shaped lights like on the 777s
I swear if I see another merseyrail fanboy saying they are a ripoff of the 777s I will explode
SAME MATE
They're not a rip off of the 777. They're a cheaper and not as good version. Kinda like the aldi version of Colin the caterpillar cake. Haha
@@g4viscon in what way are they not as good?
@benstrainsandthings No WiFi, more basic design language, and less specifications due to the Metro not having to meet national rail standards, no central emergency exit at the ends of the units etc.
this ain’t no plane
Nice 🔥
Looking good
The Class 555 Tyne and Wear Metro I have to say that they do look really nice and impressive. When will they be in service?
sadly its delayed o 2024-25
Im from nothumberland park that metro looks class do you know when they will fully be for public use?
sound like Azuma doors opening sound!
Nice catch - not sure why some of the windows are boarded-over though \m/
I thought the same.... odd
@@craigpix8422it’s for testing. Protecting wiring
All they need now are first class compartments with refreshments and toilets, so us superior types can seperate ourselves from the Mackem Chavs, and window licking trainspotters.
window licking trainspotters? mate what planet do you live on 💀
You're actually braindead if you think you're getting first class on a metro service
Stalder Rail 🇨🇭🇨🇭
Can you see out of the front?
no you cant unfortunately. But as a result they do have much bigger cabs wich will be great for the driver.
I guess its a good thing but looking from a passenger perspective i don't like it@@ewanhetting
It was always a scramble to get the front seat on an empty train, or the rear seat. I used to love it as a kid, seeing the tunnels looming ahead, and then suddenly being plunged into darkness. It was literally like riding a rollercoaster, until the novelty wore off after a few years.
We'd only ever had buses before the metro arrived, and BR Trains. But a ride on a BR train was a rare occurrence, because of the limited number of stops.
That's me I'm right now 10, I love the metro and I love sitting in the front and listening to the destination thingy. Will the same AI do the stations?
@@Maan_CoolboyI believe it's not actually AI, more like pre-recordings set to play at certain times.
Dont you mean brake test
It's similar to merseyrail
Same family of trains
2:32 was random
You should've filmed doors closing.... :c
odd: overgrounds piggybacking off of that nationwide train engine classification scheme over there... anyhow, our show-offy Expo-Expressive replacement of our touristic sightseeing overground happens to be causing many a commuter to become bitterly disgruntled: ruclips.net/video/nBbgRWNRV6o/видео.htmlsi=rIOGWuqDfdv_UET-
Nice units tfw would have been better off with a simular design I dont like the side seating though
Side seating is much more efficient, as anyone who's used transport in London will have experienced. At peak times in particular, the current Metros aren't fit for purpose. The current seating takes up way too much space and has a much lower capacity. People are left standing on platforms because there isn't enough space.
@th8257 Nah, having a mix of seating like the Elizabeth line would have been better. I like the airline seating and family 2x 2 seating arrangement on the Merseyrail Metro class 777 units. I think T&W should have gone for that as it looks so much better but also has high capacity for passengers.
Lateral seating is essential on the deep level tube trains due to constraints of where the wheels are placed on such compact units. There is really no need for it to be used on the 555 units.
Why do you wave at every single train? It doesn't look like any of them ever wave back.
Our mates were driving on the test and they normally flash their headlights or wave
@@Omar91130 Do trains have the ability to flash headlights?
@@avaughan585 what I mean is they are able to turn the brightness up similar to a car when you flash the high beam
@@Omar91130 Do trains have that ability?
Why does it kinda look like a M5000
It looks smaller than the class 994/599 but still looks cool
Nah! The older class 599 MetroCars were indeed 100x better. Over 40 years old and still running as smooth as an angel
Seriously? They're starting to show their age majorly. Constant breakdowns, overhead wire trips, general reliability. And besides, there's little to no traction motor sound.
Copy cat that's same as our 777s trains that we have in Southport.
they're the same family what else would you expect.
What do you expect, made by same company (i thunk stadler but im nit sure)
It's from the same family of METRO trains by Stadler
Copying their own design? Okay then...
Imagine if Stadler were to manufacture more METRO and FLIRT rolling stocks then would we complain how horrible they look. To be honest Stadler are the best train manufacturer in Europe and they manufacture the best rolling stocks not just in Europe but in other countries including North America, Africa, Asia and Australia.
ripoff 777
you should reas the pinned
They're part of the same family from Stadler.
Nope just apart of the same family of trains
They're not as good or expensive as Merseyrail 777 metro version.
