Platform 2 of Tynemouth Metro station, one of the oldest stations and possibly the grandest on the Tyne and Wear Metro network, it was opened in 1882 by the North Eastern Railway. It served as the terminus for the first section of the Metro network from Tynemouth to Haymarket (Newcastle city centre) via Whitley Bay and South Gosforth, that opened on 11 August 1980. It became a through station once more on 14 November 1982 when the section to St James via North Shields, Wallsend and Monument became the fourth section of the network to commence services. British Rail continued to operate services from the now disused bay platforms at the southern end of platform 2 for part of the period between the two openings.

Trains from St James and Monument traveling anti-clockwise around the North Tyne loop and onwards to South Hylton, Central Station, Pelaw and Sunderland today call at platform one, while services running in the opposite direction stop at platform 2.
