Haymarket Metro station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haymarket Metro station is a station on the Tyne and Wear Metro in the north of the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. Like the other stations in the city centre, its platforms are located underground. It is adjacent to a large bus station.
The station was the original terminus of the Metro system, when the first stage opened in 1980. However, this was a temporary measure, as the system was extended southwards through the city centre to Gateshead the following year.
It is the nearest station to Newcastle University and the Civic Centre, and the major shopping area that surrounds Northumberland Street.
It has been announced there will be a new £20 million facelift for the station[1]. This will see the existing 1980 surface building replaced by a four-storey steel and glass structure boasting office space, shops, a bar, and a restaurant.
