Northumberland Park Interchange

North Tyneside, Italy

Northumberland Park is a multimodal transport hub with both a Tyne and Wear Metro station and a National Rail station, serving the village of Backworth and suburbs of Northumberland Park and West Allotment, as well as the nearby Cobalt Business Park, North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. The Met

ro station opened on 11 December 2005, on the alignment of the former Blyth and Tyne Railway. A Network Rail line – which was freight-only between 1964 and 2024 – shares the alignment at this point. The National Rail station opened on 22 February 2026 as part of the Northumberland Line, creating a new interchange with the Metro network. The station entrance is on Algernon Drive, with stairs and lifts providing access to both Metro and National Rail platforms. The Northumberland line has been integrated into the Metro's fare system, allowing passengers to make through Metro/rail journeys using a Nexus Pop smartcard.
