Template:Infobox T&W Metro station

Hadrian Road is a station on the Tyne and Wear Metro, serving Howdon and Wallsend in North Tyneside. The station joined the network in November 1982, following the opening of the line between Tynemouth and St. James.

Unlike neighbouring Wallsend and Howdon, which were converted from former British Rail stations, Hadrian Road was purpose-built for the Tyne and Wear Metro network in the early 1980s.[1]

The station was used by 141,431 passengers in 2017–18, making it the fifth-least-used station on the network, after Pallion (92,060), St. Peter's (107,887), Bank Foot (109,284) and Bede (133,215).

Facilities

Step-free access is available at all stations across the Tyne and Wear Metro network, with ramps providing step-free access to both platforms at Hadrian Road. The station is equipped with ticket machines, sheltered waiting area, seating, next train information displays, timetable posters, and an emergency help point on both platforms. Ticket machines are able to accept payment with credit and debit card (including contactless payment), notes and coins.[2][3] The station is also fitted with smartcard validators, which feature at all stations across the network.[4][5]

There is no dedicated car parking available at the station. There is the provision for cycle parking, with 4 cycle pods available for use.[6]

Service and frequency

Hadrian Road is served by the  Yellow Line , which operates between South Shields and St. James with an end-to-end journey time of 83 minutes.
