Jesmond railway station

Jesmond was a railway station, serving the suburb of Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear, England. It was opened on 27 June 1864 as part of the Blyth and Tyne Railway's line to Newcastle New Bridge Street, and closed on 23 January 1978 when the line was shut for conversion into part of the Tyne and Wear Metro. With the opening of the Metro, it was replaced by the Jesmond Metro station, situated underground some 120 metres (390 ft) to the north-west. The old station buildings still exist, and the main building is a grade II listed building. It is used as a public house known as The Carriage. The track through the station is still used by Metro trains as part of a link between the line to the north of Jesmond and the line to the west of Manors. However this link is not used by trains carrying passengers, and no trains now stop at the old station.
