Have to say, Stadler are producing some really smart looking trains right now.

The extra trains will support increased frequencies as part of the "Metro Flow" project, which will see the dualling of three single-line sections on the South Shields line between Pelaw and Bede, the last such sections remaining on the network. The adjacent freight line will be electrified and made capable of carrying Metro trains.
