Metro workers are starring in a series of short films to help customers get to know the new Metro trains.<\/p>\n

The films, which are being screened on the Tyne and Wear Metro\u2019s social media channels, show members of the Metro fleet project team explaining the many modern features on board the new trains \u2013 which are currently in the process of entering customer service.<\/p>\n

Nexus, the public body which runs Metro, said film was the ideal medium to help customer to familiarise themselves with the new Stadler trains, which differ vastly from the current fleet.<\/p>\n

Workers in key project roles appear in the campaign to add authenticity and tap into their expert knowledge. They take the viewer on a walk through the Metro carriage, showcasing technology and customer benefits.<\/p>\n

This includes a focus on safety systems, the linear seating layout, USB charging points, climate control, CCTV, accessibility, the automatic sliding steps, digital display screens, handrails and grab poles, the doors, the coloured lights around each set of doors, art work, the public address system and emergency alarm system, customer intercom, priority seating, and the fleet testing process.<\/p>\n

The films were shot in an informal and easy-to-understand way. They can be viewed on the Tyne and Wear Metro\u2019s official Instagram, Tik Tok and Facebook channels. They will also be available to view on the Nexus and Tyne and Wear Metro YouTube channels.<\/p>\n
