Gateshead Metro Station

from North East Museums

  • Robert Clark said:
    It's amazing to see the different shape of the tunnels here, as opposed to those under Newcastle city centre, which were the proper round shape. No doubt this unusual shape was partly due to the ground conditions, with old mineworkings.
  • Rhubus said:
    Gateshead Station was a difficult one. Old coal mine workings hindered progress and at one point a pour of concrete was lost as it dropped into a passage below! As Robert says - the tunnel will be to suit the ground conditions at that location.

Metro Car Test Track

from North East Museums

  • metromadme said:
    This image (and the previous few) were taken at the Metro Test Track near Backworth. The road in the foreground is Middle Engine Lane. The Test Track tunnel can be seen in the background. This looks like it must be the delivery of the one the prototypes from Birmingham, with the unit being in two parts over the road.
  • Rapidsnap said:
    This is Middle Engine Lane between Wallsend and North Shields, not Birmingham.
  • Rhubus said:
    This is not Birmingham - this is Middle Engine Lane near Shiremoor on North Tyneside. It's now the site of The Stephenson Railway Museum.
