MetroCentre railway station is a railway station that serves the Intu Metrocentre shopping and leisure complex in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. It is located on the Tyne Valley Line from Newcastle upon Tyne to Carlisle, and is managed by Northern. The station was opened by British Rail on 3 August 1987.[1] It is an unmanned station, connected to the MetroCentre shopping centre by a covered footbridge. Initially called Gateshead MetroCentre,[1] the station's name was shortened to MetroCentre in the 17 May 1993.[2] The section of line that the station is situated on is part of the original 1837 Newcastle and Carlisle Railway route along the south bank of the River Tyne to Redheugh (Gateshead), with the links onwards via {{rws|Dunston}}, Bensham Junction and the King Edward Bridge being added in 1893/1909.[3] FacilitiesThe station has no ticket machines, so tickets must be bought in advance or on the train. There are waiting rooms on both platforms and a help point on platform 1. Train running information is offered via automatic announcements, digital information screens and timetable posters. Step-free access from the shopping complex and a car park is via a ramped footbridge to both platforms.[4] ServicesThere is a regular shuttle service to {{stnlink|Newcastle}} of three trains per hour, of which one starts/terminates here, a two trains per hour service to {{stnlink|Hexham}} and hourly extensions through to {{stnlink|Carlisle}}.[5] Additionally, some eastbound trains run beyond Newcastle to either {{stnlink|Middlesbrough}} or {{stnlink|Nunthorpe}} via the Durham Coast Line or to {{stnlink|Morpeth}} (hourly to each).[6][7] On Sundays, there is an hourly service to/from Carlisle and three per hour to/from Newcastle - one of these continues to Middlesbrough.[8] All train services are operated by Northern. However, one service on Monday-Saturdays extends from Carlisle to {{stnlink|Glasgow Central}} and is operated by Abellio ScotRail between Carlisle and Glasgow Central.
