How to Get to Metrocentre

Getting Here

Visiting a new place is totally fun if you have it all planned out – from hassle-free routes to the best place to spend the weekend.

Getting here via:

Metrocentre
Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, NE11 9YG

The centre has its own train station, with regular rail trips every 15 minutes during the day. It’s only a seven-minute ride from Newcastle Central Station.

You’ll find frequent rail services from Newcastle, Sunderland, Teesside, County Durham and stations along the Tyne Valley Line to Carlisle.

Bus services are run by Nexus, Go North East, Stagecoach and Arriva, providing over 100 buses every hour. You can find them at Metrocentre’s Public Transport Interchange.

There’s also the CentreLink Service X66 operating from Gateshead Metro Interchange during weekday evenings and every 15 minutes on weekend evenings.

In addition, a Metrocentre circular bus service can be seen at the mall entrances, as well as around Metro Retail Park, Gala Bingo, Asda and Ikea.

The Metro station is only a quick bus ride away from both Newcastle and Gateshead centres via Monument, Central and Gateshead Metro stations. A transfare ticket on the Metro system will conveniently cover your fare to any bus heading to Metrocentre.

Taxi stands and drop-off points are located in all of their mall entrances, with direct-line phones to Dean Taxi if you need to call for transport services.

Parking

Metrocentre boats of almost 10,000 parking spaces spread over six spacious car parks conveniently situated around the centre. There are multi-storey car parks in Red, Blue and Yellow zones, plus outdoor car parks in Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. Direct entry to the shopping complex is made simple from each parking lot, thanks to the passenger elevators and escalators.

Parking in Metrocentre’s main, colour-zoned car parks is free of charge – all day. However, there is a 4-hour maximum parking duration at MetrOasis and Metro Retail Park car parks.

Please take note of the barrier height restriction in multi-storey car parks:

  • 1.98m in Yellow and Blue multi-storey car parks
  • 2.1m in Red multi-storey
