From the Wikipedia article
Benton Square was a short-lived railway station on the North Eastern Railway's former Blyth and Tyne Railway, adjacent to the Great Lime Road overbridge in the borough of North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England. The station was opened on 1 July 1909 by the North Eastern Railway, in order to serve the Benton Square Colliery and the adjoining miner's cottages. The only facility it had was a booking shed on Great Lime Road. It closed on 20 September 1915 as a wartime economy measure. There are no visible remains of the station, but the line on which the station was built is still in use as part of the Tyne and Wear Metro. Palmersville Metro station lies just on the opposite (western) side of the Great Lime Road bridge.
