The Tyne & Wear Metro was designed by Jack The Force-It Apprentice. He came up with the idea after crashing model trains together on his model railway set. After realising the potential for an unreliable, smelly, dangerous and suicidal way of transporting people from A to B in tin cans, they set to work building it using concrete and some left-over fridges. However, in 2008, it still managed to win the Ultimate Utter Rubbish Awaard For being the cleanliest public transport service, beating off Bus companies like Stagecoach and Poo On The Tyne

  • The Tyne & Wear Metro was designed by Jack The Force-It Apprentice. He came up with the idea after crashing model trains together on his model railway set. After realising the potential for an unreliable, smelly, dangerous and suicidal way of transporting people from A to B in tin cans, they set to work building it using concrete and some left-over fridges. Construction of the Metro began at around 1033, and after a 1-hour lunch break at 1130, the track and the Metro trains were completed in record time by 1856. And all thanks to some ingenious corner cutting, such as not fixing the track to the railway sleepers. Metro trains require an electric power supply in order for them to move. This is provided by a 9-volt battery and has proven to be highly cost efficient since the introduction of Uniross rechargeable batteries. Sadly, many teenagers are now prone to tresspassing onto the tracks in order to remove the battery and lick it to see if they get a shock. However, in 2008, it still managed to win the Ultimate Utter Rubbish Awaard For being the cleanliest public transport service, beating off Bus companies like Stagecoach and Poo On The Tyne
