I lived in West Monkseaton when I filmed it, then less than a year later, I actually ended up living next to there too!

@StegHead93 it would be due to train works outside of monkseaton, so they swap tracks to go back to avoid running into track works

I want them back to yellow and white though. People dont believe how obsessed I was with them as a kid! posters, models, metro map on my wall! from just a fortnight visit once a year hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!
