Opened in 1864 by the Blyth & Tyne Railway on the line from Newcastle (New Bridge Street) to Blyth, this station closed in 1978, when part of the line was converted to Metro operation. This didn't include Jesmond station which was replaced by a nearby underground Metro station of the same name - see Image View south towards New Bridge Street. The station is a remarkable survivor.
