The Tyne and Wear Metrocar is a light rail vehicle used on the Tyne and Wear Metro in North East England. Ninety units were manufactured between 1978 and 1981 by Metro-Cammell and are designated on TOPS as the British Rail Class 599. Trains were refurbished between 1996 and 2000, and between 2010 and 2015. Since 2024, they have been gradually replaced by new Class 555 electric multiple units, built by Stadler Rail. The last scheduled Metrocar service was on 26 June 2026.
