The two doublecars in the colour white at the start was an advertisement for metroland I remember as a young boy that they have been decouple and paired with other orange cars as they get serviced

On the last day of that holiday we were approaching the hadrian road metro to go into newcastle and i saw it leaving towards the coast, and then later that day when i was leaving newcastle with my mum & older brother to go back home (to the south) i saw it crossing the queen elizabeth II bridge lol. I was aged 9 back then and i remember it all so well!

Oh if only I could go back to 1980 and film on the metro from then up until it closes...that would be lovely! Again Simon this is a great masterpiece and I will again show this to Metro staff!

I remember seeing those yellow & maroon metro cars (shown at 6:48) back in 1989 at Haymarket! My Grandma used to live in Wallsend (near Hadrian Road metro station) so I used to go up there for holidays, and one afternoon during the summer of 1989 when we went into newcastle we took 'the long way round' via the coast (to haymarket) and when we got to haymarket i saw the maroon car on the opposite platform and i remember being really surprised about it at the time lol.

When I made this film KZfaq restricted films to being less than 10 minutes... happily nowadays this restriction has been lifted.

@innovatek121 Yes, I think it was! Possibly a promotional for the Metro system which was used at exhibitions, etc.

so integration - at least in terms of vehicle liveries - somehow survived beyond 1985?

0:06 is that what i think that is
