Metro services from this station replaced some routes that had formerly been operated from the mainline station towards Benton and Tynemouth via the North Tyneside Loop.
Whilst the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Authority utilised existing stations where possible, such as at Whitley Bay and Tynemouth, new stations such as Four Lane Ends had a definite corporate look of rectangular blocks, light enamelled wall panels, and black roofing.
