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 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.
