Haymarket Metro

Story

Haymarket Metro station is a station on the Tyne and Wear Metro in the north of the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. Like the other stations in the city centre, its platforms are located underground. The station is used by approximately six million passengers every year.It is the nearest station to Newcastle University, Northumbria University's City Campus West, the Civic Centre, and the major shopping area that surrounds Northumberland Street. It is also adjacent to Haymarket bus station. It is the deepest station on the Metro system; the old staircase had 105 steps. The station also has underground rooms, restricted from the public, which contain archives and various historical documents.OpeningThe station was the terminus of the Metro system, when the first stage opened in 1980. Empty trains reversed using the trailing crossover between here and Monument. However, this was a temporary measure, as the system was extended southwards through the city centre to Heworth the following year. The first train from Haymarket was to Tynemouth on 11 August 1980. A number of buildings housing a Greenwood’s clothes store, Nobles amusement arcade and the old Tatler cinema were demolished to make way for the station.Station rebuildIn August 2006, final plans for the complete reconstruction of the station, costing £20 million, were released. Initial plans for a £9 million facelift for the station had previously been announced in 2004. While work took place between 2007 and 2009 the station was closed at 19:45 Sunday to Thursday, but this restriction was lifted in September 2009. Nexus states £5 million of the total cost is being spent improving the station area for Metro passengers, including replacing two escalators and installing a new third escalator where there were previously stairs. The work on the station area was finished in late 2009.

A well designed metro station let’s you out on the Haymarket near two universities. There are plenty of bars mainly frequented by older crowd. Good micro pubs. Good bus station. Easy to get to. Handy for museums.
Peter, this morning Sat 16th March, could not have been more helpful and patient, renewing my Metro Gold Pass for me, with kind advice included. Thank you, Peter!
Nice place to walk around.
Metro ticket didn't work so a worker imminently started shouting assuming I didn't have a ticket. His volume dropped when I showed my ticket but he still told me to not come back and that I'd be refused transport.
our metro was cancelled has to wait 10 minutes. would rather die then visit again you don’t know!!!
Rude staff, horrible location, appearance wise it is an ugly stain on the northern landscape and i didnt enjoy the experience at all. One of the staff so rude to me that at one point I simply walked out of the door - IF THEY DONT APPRECIATE ME AS A VALUABLE CUSTOMER THEY CANNOT HAVE MY CUSTOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Haymarket is in the centre of Newcastle a hub of pubs & eating places.
Very useful service and location, accommodate offices on the floors above and a range of shops within the ground level of the station.
tried to find hay here for my horse but to no avail. Other than that, it`s a very decent station!
Basic stop...can get crowded during office hours. Photobooth, cash machine, food shop, barber and a ticket office at the entrance too.
