Update on the roll out of the new Metro train fleet, 30 April 2025: 

Cathy Massarella, Managing Director of Nexus said: “Following our decision to temporarily suspend the new trains in service last week, I am pleased to confirm the new fleet has started to be re-introduced back into service from today. 

“We have worked closely with Stadler to identify a solution to the issue and resume the programme as soon as possible.

“I know this temporary pause was disappointing, but we don’t expect this to have any impact on the overall roll out timescales.

“I’d like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding on this matter.”
