From the Wikipedia article
Heworth Interchange is a transport hub consisting of a National Rail, Tyne and Wear Metro and bus station, as well as a park and ride facility. The interchange is located in the suburb of Heworth, Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, England. The rail and bus stations opened on 5 November 1979, with the Metro station opening two years later on 15 November 1981. The new Heworth rail station took over the role of the former Felling and Pelaw rail stations, which closed on the same day as its opening, to allow them to be converted into Metro stations. The National rail line and Metro lines have separate tracks at this point, but share the same alignment of what was originally the Brandling Junction Railway and now forms part of the Durham Coast Line.
