Northumberland Park is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, and planned future National Rail station, serving the village of Backworth and suburbs of Northumberland Park and West Allotment, as well as the nearby Cobalt Business Park, North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. The station opened on 11 December 2005, on the alignment of the former Blyth and Tyne Railway.^[2]

A Network Rail freight line shares the alignment at this point. This line is planned to become part of the Northumberland Line passenger service in the near future, and there are plans for this service to stop at a new platform at Northumberland Park.^[3]
