Métro Tyne & Wear

Le Tyne & Wear Metro est un système de transport en commun qui dessert l'agglomération de Newcastle-upon-Tyne, au Royaume-Uni. Ouvert en 1980, le réseau tire son nom des deux rivières qui coulent dans les environs : la Tyne et le Wear. Le réseau a été constitué grâce à la conversion de plusieurs lignes de train de banlieue, reliées entre elles par des tunnels sous le centre-ville ainsi qu'un nouveau viaduc sur la Tyne. Il totalise aujourd'hui 77,7 km de voies et 60 stations. Les rames sont au gabarit ferroviaire et alimentées par caténaires en 750 V CC. Le Tyne & Wear est un système hybride comportant à la fois les caractéristiques d'un métro avec un matériel à plancher haut et circulant partiellement en tunnel, et celles d'un tramway avec de nombreux passages à niveau. Certaines sections sont également partagées avec les trains nationaux. Il est généralement classé comme un métro léger.[1]
