Bank Foot Metro station

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bank Foot Metro station in the suburbs of Newcastle upon Tyne, was the terminus of the Tyne and Wear Metro Green line before the extension to Newcastle Airport opened in 1991. Between 1981 and 1991 a dedicated non-stop bus service ran between Bank Foot station and the airport. The outbound platform on the south side is the original single platform; at the time, the Metro ended on a single track. For the first few years of the Metro, it shared the line with occasional British Rail freight trains running to the ICI plant at Callerton. The second, inbound platform was added with the Airport extension.
