The Tyne and Wear Metro is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its extension to Newcastle Airport, a line which has carried 7.5 million customers over the last three decades. Nexus, the public body which owns and manages Metro, said the airport line was one of the more important projects in the history of the Metro service. The £12m scheme, opened on November 17, 1991, provides one of the fastest airport to city centre transfers in the country.
