The old station buildings still exist, and the main building is a grade II listed building. It is used as a public house known as The Carriage. The track through the station is still used by Metro trains as part of a link between the line to the north of Jesmond and the line to the west of Manors. However this link is not used by trains carrying passengers, and no trains now stop at the old station.
