The Tyne and Wear Metro (Newcastle Metro), referred to locally as simply the Metro, is a rapid transit light rail system in North East England, serving Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, South Tyneside, North Tyneside and Sunderland in the Tyne and Wear region. The Metro is also described as Britain's first modern light rail system. It can be considered a hybrid system, displaying elements of light rail, heavy underground metro, and longer-distance, higher speed suburban and interurban railway systems. This film features front facing 'driver's eye views' of a Metro ride on the Metro's 'yellow line' from Jesmond to Whitley Bay, calling at: West Jesmond, Ilford Road, South Gosforth, Longbenton, Four Lane Ends, Benton, Palmersville, Northumberland Park, Shiremoor, Monkseaton and Whitley Bay.
