The network opened in stages from August 1980 and now serves a total of 60 stations, with two lines covering 48.2 miles (77.6 km) of track.[6][7][8][2] The Metro can be accessed from a mixture of underground and overground stations. It has been described as the "first modern light rail system in the United Kingdom".[9] The system is currently owned and operated by the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive (branded as Nexus), thus is fully under public ownership and operation. In 2018–19, an estimated 36.4 million passenger journeys were made on the Metro, making it the third-most used light rail network in the United Kingdom after London's Docklands Light Railway (121.8 million passenger journeys) and Manchester Metrolink (43.7 million passenger journeys).[10] The initial Tyne and Wear Metro network opened between August 1980 and March 1984, mostly using converted former railway lines linked with new tunnel infrastructure. Further extensions to the original network were opened in November 1991 (from Bank Foot to Airport) [11] and March 2002 (from Pelaw to Sunderland and South Hylton).[12]

Pada 2018–19, diperkirakan 36,4 juta perjalanan penumpang dilakukan di Metro, menjadikannya jaringan kereta ringan ketiga yang paling banyak digunakan di Inggris Raya setelah Kereta Api Ringan Docklands London (121,8 juta perjalanan penumpang) dan Manchester Metrolink (43,7 juta perjalanan penumpang ).[10] Jaringan Tyne and Wear Metro awal dibuka antara Agustus 1980 dan Maret 1984, sebagian besar menggunakan bekas jalur kereta api yang diubah dan dihubungkan dengan infrastruktur terowongan baru. Perpanjangan lebih lanjut ke jaringan asli dibuka pada November 1991 (dari Bank Foot ke Bandara) [11] dan Maret 2002 (dari Pelaw ke Sunderland dan South Hylton).[12]
