Stadium of Light Metro station

Stadium of Light is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, serving the Stadium of Light and suburbs of Roker and Monkwearmouth, City of Sunderland in Tyne and Wear.

It joined the network on 31 March 2002, following the opening of the extension from Pelaw to South Hylton.

The station is named after the nearby Stadium of Light, the home stadium of Sunderland A.F.C., which is located about 700 metres south west of the station.

[citation needed] In July 2017, the station was decorated in red and white stripes, the colours of Sunderland A.F.C., to celebrate 20 years of the Stadium of Light.

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