Jarrow is situated on a single line section, but has a long passing loop for Metro services and therefore two platforms.

Metro services have occasionally operated beyond 2200 hours.

The reconstructed railway station opened 2007-09-28, and Metro service began the following month.

Metro service began in August 1980.

The Metro service operates throughout Belfast, right out to the suburbs.

The station closed in 1978 for conversion to Metro service, reopening in August 1980.

Metro services run at a peak of five per hour in each direction calling at all stations.

Metro service at the station was interrupted on 16 December 2006 after an accident in which a passenger fell onto the tracks.

On New Year's Eve, some Metro services operate all through the night.

The Metro service was implemented in phases, and the subway was served only on weekdays until 1982.
