4013 was a production Metrocar built by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath, Birmingham.
4013 along with 4021 were the first unit's to do a tour on the Tyne and Wear Metro.
Oddly 4013 received it's LED displays and new door buttons before its doors were repainted DDA compliance updated by having its doors repainted from red with the yellow Metro M triangle to fully yellow to be complient DDA and receiving door window surrounds instead of all the slight modification being done at the same time.
On the 29th of June 2023 4013 and an unknown metrocar were departing Callerton Parkway at just after 10:00 BST when it hit a Peugeot 5008 attempted to jump the Callerton Lane level crossing. Thankfully nobody was injured. 4013 and the unknown unit in the back were given the go-ahead to leave the scene and at 12:28 they started to limp back to Gosforth depot with the car being removed at 12:32 and service resuming at 13:30 after the necessary checkes were done to the line. 4013 was repaired and returned to service shortly after but the Peugeot 5008 was presumably totalled judging by the amount of damage on it.
