Chillingham Road Metro station is located in the south of the Heaton area of Newcastle upon Tyne. The station is served by the Tyne and Wear Metro service.

Close to the station is Brough Park stadium, which holds regular greyhound racing meetings and is home to the Newcastle Diamonds speedway team.

Chillingham Road is also the closest Metro station to the location of the former Heaton railway station. West of here, the Metro route diverges from the former North Eastern Railway line through Heaton in order to serve Byker.

[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.
