Ilford Road is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, primarily serving the suburb of Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It joined the network on 11 August 1980, following the opening of the first phase of the network, between Haymarket and Tynemouth via Four Lane Ends.
History
Unlike nearby South Gosforth and West Jesmond stations, which were converted from British Rail stations, Ilford Road was purpose-built for the Tyne and Wear Metro on a site with no previous station history.[1][2] It was the "typical Metro halt" used in publicity when the system first opened. When other stations were being repainted red, green or blue in the early 2000s, Ilford Road was repainted in original brown, with much of the unpainted concrete being painted cream.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Facilities
The station has two side platforms, with separate step-free access to both via ramps. Access to the southbound platform is from the junction of Albury Road and Woodthorne Road, whilst access to the northbound platform is from Ilford Road. Access between platforms is also step free, and is by the road bridge on Moorfield Road, around Script error: No such module "convert". south of the station.[3]
