Bank Foot Metro station

Bank Foot Metro station

Bank Foot Metro station in the suburbs of Newcastle upon Tyne, (opened 1981) was the terminus of the Tyne and Wear Metro Green line before the extension to Newcastle Airport opened in 1991.

The outbound platform on the south side is the original single platform; at the time, the Metro ended on a single track that became a twin track only after it crossed the bridge to the east of the station. For the first few years of the Metro, it shared the line with occasional British Rail freight trains running to the ICI plant at Callerton. The second, inbound platform was added with the Airport extension.

The Bank Foot station was originally used by Ponteland Railway between 1905 and 1966, under the names of Kenton, and later Kenton Bank [ [http://www.northumbrian-railways.co.uk/ponteland.html Ponteland Light Railway & Darras Hall Branch] at Northumbrian Railways] .
