Beacon Hill
A mock station, named Beacon Hill, has been installed in late 2010 at Beacon Hill School in Wallsend, North Tyneside. The station features a building painted like a Metro train, with working passenger doors, standing at a station with a re-created station building. The "station" features a lifelike ticket hall with working ticket machines, a recreated platform area with tactile paving, authentic passenger seating, yellow litter bins and railings and an illuminated Metro "cube" outside.
The station has been installed at the school in association with Nexus to assist with teaching children how to travel by Metro, encouraging safe independent travel.
