Monkseaton Metro:

Those pictures bring back some memories.

I used to catch the train from Walker station (now closed) to North Shields,Cullercoats and Whitley Bay in the 60's.
Being a little young one it seemed like I was travelling for miles, but it was only 10 miles maximum!
I can remember the stations all had a scent of disinfectant.
The stations have not changed much, shame the Spanish City has gone though.

It's being re-generated! Taking a while, due to re-open in 2018.

Artist impressions:

Think the Walker station you mention is probably a Metro one these days?

 

[Salar]

Yes,

I'd read the Spanish City was being refurbished, but it won't be like what it was in the 60's!

You might be thinking of Walkergate in Heaton?

This is Walker station www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/walker/

Keep the pics coming!

Summer has finally arrived, 3 months late. It's always the best day of the year

Not sure I'm really supposed to ride this path.

Traffic was horrendous. I met 6 sheep.

Inspired by @Accy cyclist post on the Elf on a Shelf thread I remembered I found a Riley Elf in someones garage earlier this year and took some photos. Lovely old car but it seemed to have been left to fall in to ruin.
