Tyne and Wear Metro | 555003/555006/555027 passes Longbenton

Recorded 15/6/25 More details: On 15/6/25, 555006 caused an overhead line trip and was stranded betweeen West Monkseaton and Monkseaton. They attempted to move it using battery power to no avail, meaning it was totally stuck and unable to move. Passengers were stranded on the train for 2 hours while service was suspended between Tynemouth and Shiremoor. It was decided not to do an emergency evacuation (passengers walking on the track to the next station) due to there being pushchairs. 555003, which was operating peak service T153 was taken out of service and sent to couple to 555006. Passengers made it to west Monkseaton with the help of 555003 (unsure if 555027 was involved at this point.) After a short while, 555027 was taken off T121 and coupled to the other end of 555006 as 555003 alone was struggling to move 555006. Eventually the train started moving towards the depot via Longbenton as service had resumed. And this brings us to the video, 555003/555006/555027 passing Longbenton. Wonder how rare this will be?
