A DMU for Newcastle Central stands under the overall roof of the 1879 station at South Shields in the 1970s. As with a number of previous stations serving the town (the first being the Stanhope & Tyne in 1835) this one is no more. Today South Shields is served by a modern Tyne & Wear Metro station located a short distance to the west of this spot and opened in March 1984.
