What was on the site of the Stoddart Street sidings of the Tyne and Wear Metro, before they became what they are? Also, is there any road access to and from the sidings, and if so, where are the gates about?

There is vehicle access from the south end of Boyd Street. The road passes under the mainline ('Boyd Street Bridge') and then stops abuptly at very large steel doors across the width of the road. After the doors, there is access under some of the sidings and then a sharp right turn onto the ramp up to track level. I was surprised to see a Transit van up there 2 or 3 years ago.
