Originally opened in 1896 by the North Eastern railway on the line from Newcastle to Sunderland, this station replaced an earlier 1839 one sited just beyond the current station - see Image It was converted from heavy rail to Metro in 1981. View east towards Heworth and Sunderland. The platform was wider at one time and had a large canopy which extended over the tracks on either side.
