From the Wikipedia article
Ilford Road is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, primarily serving the suburb of Gosforth in the English city of Newcastle upon Tyne. It joined the network on 11 August 1980, following the opening of the first phase of the network, between Haymarket and Tynemouth via Four Lane Ends.

Background
History
Unlike nearby South Gosforth and West Jesmond stations, which were converted from British Rail stations, Ilford Road was purpose-built for the Tyne and Wear Metro on a site with no previous station history. It was the "typical Metro halt" used in publicity when the system first opened. When other stations were being repainted red, green or blue in the early 2000s, Ilford Road was repainted in original brown, with much of the unpainted concrete being painted cream.
