Whilst this part of the station was demolished when the Metro system opened, Manors is still a station on the ECML, and Metro trains can still access Manors Metro station from West Jesmond on empty stock workings using part of the original line. The Haymarket to Tynemouth part of the Metro system opened on August 11th 1980. emdjt42.

56386 is on the back of this set departing Benton on 22/1/78. Iain Munro adds "the unit is heading towards the coast. The feather on the signal is for the curve to join the East Coast Main line towards Newcastle, and the point work diverging to the left in the distance is the chord to the East Coast Main Line towards Morpeth."

On the icy morning of 03/02/1978, a Class 101 departs from Seaham with the 0906 Newcastle-Middlesbrough. It appears the train had conveyed mail sacks, which are being handled onto the waiting mail van by three postal workers. Station posters are displayed on the signal box wall, which seems an odd place for the PayTrain guide (rather than the platforms). Graeme Phillips Collection.
