This section was originally opened by the Blyth and Tyne Railway on 27 June 1864 as part of its extension from Holywell to Newcastle New Bridge Street.

The line was closed 23 January 1978 for conversion to Metro and re-opened 11 August 1980. The diversion to the new Metro station can be seen to the right.
