Nexus, which owns, manages and is modernising Metro, has officially put its first refurbished Metro train into passengers service.

The first modernised train, with its plush new interior and sleek light metallic grey and black colour scheme, officially entered service after spending more than a year being stripped down and refitted.

It is the first of Metro's fleet of 90 trains to be refurbished as part of the £385m Metro: all change modernisation programme.

The interior of the train has been redesigned. New seating, lighting and flooring have been installed, giving the train a cleaner, brighter and more modern appearance. The new layout allows for improved wheelchair access.
The new colour scheme still incorporates the iconic bright yellow brand colour of the Tyne and Wear Metro. The new livery will replace the current 'red, green or blue' Metro train liveries, which date back to the mid 1990s.
