  • Building the Tyne and Wear Metro
    THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION Building the Tyne and Wear Metro The Tyne and Wear Metro is a light rail system with 78km of track and 60 stations, many of them interchanges with bus and other rail services to give an integrated public transport system. It was conceived in 1971, opened in 1980 with the first phase completed in 1984. Two major extensions to Newcastle Airport and Sunderland have since been completed. The Metro was the first comprehensive light rail system in the UK outside of London. Planning and building it is a fascinating story and its completion paved the way for other cities to follow. 1 The Original Metro The Tyne and Wear Metro is a light railway rapid transit system and was initially built on 55km of track with 44 stations and 90 Metrocars serving parts of North Tyneside, Newcastle, Gateshead and South Tyneside. Detailed planning of Metro was started in 1971 as a core element of a planned integrated passenger transport system. Construction of the original Metro commenced in 1974. A large part of it used the existing (then) British Rail line which ran in a circular loop from Central Station around eastern Newcastle and North Tyneside and the existing rail line from Newcastle to South Shields. New track was provided on those original lines, the existing stations were refurbished and new stations added. The British Rail lines bypassed the centre of Newcastle and a fundamental change was achieved by tunnelling under the centre of Newcastle, across a new river bridge and under central Gateshead. This ran from Jesmond Station north of Newcastle to Gateshead Stadium Station.
