Metro Bridge History

One of the most unique features of our railway is the rail over rail bridge at Percy Main.

The bridge saw the Newcastle & North Shields Railway (now the Tyne & Wear Metro) crossing over the Blyth & Tyne. A bridge was installed here for the opening of Newcastle & North Shields in 1839.
