Optional fields allow an image and caption, owner, National Rail Enquiries three-letter code, pte and fare zone, and an other name, e.g. for bi-lingual station names.

    • {{rail start}} start of route information box for national rail. Headings for preceding and following station and a link to national rail
    • {{start TWM box}} start of route information box for Tyne and Wear Metro. Headings for preceding and following station and a link to Tyne and Wear Metro

  • Line templates Next / previous are the stations served on either side; route is the company and/or route, col is the colour of the dividing columns (see Template talk:Rail line if in doubt). For Historical Lines in Scotland, the colour corresponds to that relating to the pre-1923 company as given in WPTIS Talk Page. Where there is more than one route, previous1 is the stations on the first route, previous2 is on the second route, etc.

    • {{TWM line}} Details of the Tyne and Wear Metro line stopping at the station. Parameters: | previous= | line= | next=
There are also many variants to deal with merging lines. In the examples below, {{{col}}} is blue █ , {{{col1}}} is yellow █, and {{{col2}}} is red █.
