This article refers to the Tyne and Wear Metro station, for the National Rail station of the same name, please see Manors railway station.

Manors Metro station is located to the east of Newcastle City Centre. The station is on the Yellow line of the Tyne and Wear Metro system, and opened in 1982. Due to its location on the edge of the city centre the station is relatively lightly used with a recorded patronage of just 227,000 passengers in the period 2008-9.^[1]

Heading east from Manors station, the route surfaces alongside the East Coast Main Line and then crosses the dramatic 800m long Byker Viaduct constructed by Ove Arup specifically for the Metro. The former North Eastern Railway route between Manors railway station and Jesmond can be accessed via a link tunnel just west of Manors Metro station. It is used only by trains running out of public service, allowing them to terminate at Manors and then return to the Gosforth depot (and vice versa) without having to travel around the coast. The line can be clearly seen from satellite imagery, running alongside the A167(M) Central Motorway.
