Wansbeck Road Metro station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wansbeck Road is a station on the Green Line of the Tyne and Wear Metro, which opened May 10, 1981. It is built on an embankment above Wansbeck Road. A second concrete span was added to the original single-track bridge in 1978-1979 as the Metro was being built. The platforms are on opposite sides of the road.

The line was originally part of the Ponteland Railway, opened in 1905, and the station is close to the point at which it crossed over the now-dismantled Fawdon Waggonway. The bridge, west of the station, is still in use as a pedestrian underpass.
