A Tyne and Wear Metro station directly underneath opened on 28 April 2002 enabling speedy travel within Sunderland and Newcastle. Park Lane's westbound platform is now used for trains to South Hylton. Trains that terminate at Park Lane cross over onto the northbound platform for passengers to alight.

The Interchange has National Express coach services to London and other destinations across the United Kingdom.
