Recycling is at the heart of the region’s fond farewell to the Tyne and Wear Metro’s old train fleet.
The 45-year-old carriages, which are currently being phased out, are sent for recycling with much of their used metals repurposed and shipped abroad to support manufacturing.
Metals from the Metro’s rolling stock – including aluminium, copper and steel – are being exported via regional hubs to countries around the world including Spain, India, Turkey and Asia.
A total of 29 trains – almost a third of Metro’s current rolling stock - have been recycled so far, with the work happening in carefully planned stages as more of the new Stadler Metro trains are put into customer service.
Leading North East metal recycling specialist, J Denham Metals Ltd, is carrying out the task of taking these iconic trains on their final journey.
