Benton Metro station

Benton is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, and former British Rail station, serving the suburb of Benton, North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. It was opened in 1871, closed in 1978 for conversion to become part of the Tyne and Wear Metro, and joined that network in 1980. It should not be confused with a previous station, on the site of the current Four Lane Ends Interchange, which opened in 1864, closed in 1871, and was variously called Benton, Long Benton and Longbenton. Nor should it be confused with Forest Hall station on the East Coast Main Line, which opened in 1856, closed in 1958, and was known as Benton until 1874.

The joint sixth form used to be in partnership with Seaton Burn College and branded as the Northwest Cluster. However now it is simply known as 'NE12 Sixth Form', as both campuses fall under the NE12 Postcode. This change was not advertised at all by the school, both internally or externally.
