A google search by me has found just one image, of the old Tyne Dock BR station, which closed in 1981. The station is not on the exact same site as the present Tyne Dock Metro station, AFAIK.
But, where exactly was the Tyne Dock BR station, and was it a single track or twin track island platform? A look on Google streetview has found, on Hudson street, looking south west, a single track footpath on a bridge going over the road. Was this previously a rail bridge? The footpath crosses a car park for the disused crown bingo.
The photo had in the background, a building called "The royal", and a white factory which I guess was demolished after the photo was taken. So, over to you folks, where exactly was the station, and what, if anything, sits on the site nowadays?
