Title: New ITV series - The Metro: A Rail Life Story Post by: BBM on January 13, 2020, 10:39:01 https://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week3/metro-rail-life-story (https://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week3/metro-rail-life-story)
New ITV four-part documentary series on the Tyne & Wear Metro starting at 7.30pm on Tuesday January 14th: Quote Filmed over the busy Summer of 2019 as the Metro approached its 40th birthday, cameras show some of its 1,100 staff dealing with the biggest events of the year – including the Great North Run and the Spice Girls reunion concert in Sunderland. With 60 stations the Tyne and Wear Metro serves 100,000 passengers a day and its trains travel 10,000 miles a day. But, as the series reveals, it’s a service that is often under fire and stretched to its limits as, ahead of a new fleet being delivered, it currently operates with trains that are as old as the Metro itself. This series follows the highs and lows of the summer and provides a vivid insight into the daily trials and tribulations for staff.
