Heworth station is part of a transport interchange that also includes a bus station and platforms on the adjacent main line railway line between Newcastle and Middlesbrough. The platforms are underneath the station concourse and ticket hall, which is on the same level as the bus station.
Heworth station was the original terminus of the Red Line (short workings to Benton); when Pelaw station opened in 1985, these services were extended to there.
