Heading west from Byker station, the route crosses the dramatic 800m long Byker Viaduct constructed by Arup specifically for the Metro.
[edit] Ticketing anomalies
Different zonal fare systems are used for Metro single tickets and inter-modal Transfare tickets, which means that for a number of journeys a Transfare may actually be cheaper than a standard Metro-only ticket.
