Jesmond Metro station is located just north of Newcastle upon Tyne City Centre. The station opened in August 1980 and is served by the Tyne and Wear Metro service.

When the Metro was built the service was diverted from the North Tyneside Loop at Jesmond via a new underground section constructed through the City Centre. The former Jesmond station has been converted into a pub called The Carriage.

[edit] Station art

The station features an installation called Abstract Murals ^[1] created by Simon Butler. It consists of vitreous enamel panels with brightly coloured geometric shapes.
