History

Central Station joined the Tyne and Wear Metro network on 15 November 1981, following the opening of the third phase of the network, between Haymarket and Heworth.

The station is located below Шаблон:Stnlnk, the National Rail station from which it gets its name. It is the third-busiest on the network after Шаблон:Stl and Шаблон:Stl. The station has entrances from inside the National Rail station, and from the street.

Metro serves as a replacement for some routes that had formerly been operated from the mainline station towards Шаблон:Stl & Шаблон:Stl via the North Tyneside Loop. In 1984, Metro reached Шаблон:Stl, replacing British Rail services. In 2002, Metro was extended to Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stl, where it shares tracks between Шаблон:Stl and Sunderland with Northern services on the Durham Coast Line.

Refurbishment

Between September 2015 and March 2017, the station was refurbished – a project costing £6Шаблон:Nbspmillion.[1][2]

Facilities

The station has two platforms, seating, next train audio and visual displays, timetable and information posters and an emergency help point. The ticket hall is located on the upper level, with ticket machines (which accept cash, card and contactless payment) and automatic ticket barriers, which were installed at 13 stations across the network during the early 2010s.[3][4] There is step-free access to both platforms by lift, with platforms also linked by escalator and staircase.[5]

Services

Шаблон:As of, the station is served by up to ten trains per hour on weekdays and Saturday, and up to eight trains per hour during the evening and on Sunday. Additional services operate between Шаблон:Stl and Шаблон:Stl, Шаблон:Stl, Шаблон:Stl or Шаблон:Stl at peak times.[6]
