    Sunderland Station

    Opened in 1879, Sunderland Train Station is a little unusual in that it serves both National Rail trains and the Tyne & Wear Metro. The platforms are also underground. I generally had a pleasant experience in the station, but I did have a few issues with the accessible toilet and parking options.
