Chillingham Road Metro station is in the south of the Heaton area of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and is served by the Tyne and Wear Metro service. It was originally to be called Parsons, reflecting its proximity to the Parsons engineering works. It is adjacent to the tracks of Heaton TMD and the East Coast Main Line at the end of a long path from Chillingham Road and is unusual in that electronic displays showing the arrival times of the next trains were not installed until 2009. Chillingham Road was the first surface station to undergo major renovation, which was completed in October 2011.
