Heworth Interchange

Heworth Interchange consists of a National Rail, Tyne and Wear Metro and bus station.

It is located in the suburb of Heworth, Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, England, and opened on 5 November 1979 for rail and bus services.

[3] The station is equipped with ticket machines, seating, next train information displays, timetable posters, and an emergency help point on both platforms.

Additional services operate between Pelaw and Benton, Monkseaton, Regent Centre or South Gosforth at peak times.

The first, South Tyne Eye Plan (1990) by Mike Clay, is located on the station concourse, and represents the area of Heworth and Felling between 1988 and 1990 in the form of a "continuous unwinding scroll".

The station opened on 5 November 1979, following the closure of nearby Felling and Pelaw by British Rail, ahead of their conversion to join the Tyne and Wear Metro network.

Prior to this, passenger trains ran on the southern pair of tracks, which are now used by the Tyne and Wear Metro.

The station has two platforms, only one of which has a ticket machine (which accepts card or contactless payment only), seating and an emergency help point.
