Walkergate Metro station

Walkergate is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, serving Walkergate, Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear, England. It joined the network on 14 November 1982, following the opening of the fourth phase of the network, between Tynemouth and St James via Wallsend.

The station was opened on 22 June 1839 by the Newcastle and North Shields Railway. This later became part of the North Tyneside Loop, served by the North Eastern Railway. The station was renamed Walker Gate in April 1889. In the days of British Rail, the station was known as both Walkergate and Walker Gate. The Tyne and Wear Metro, however, uses the single word form.
