History
Location
The station, situated at the eastern end of Charlton Road, serves the affluent Fulwell and Seaburn areas of Sunderland, as well as the northern end of Roker.
The platforms at Seaburn are situated below ground level, and are accessed by lift and access ramp. Southbound trains continue to South Hylton via Sunderland, while northbound trains head towards the Airport via Gateshead and Newcastle. A small newsagent is situated adjacent to the southbound entrance.
After East Boldon, Seaburn is the busiest suburban station on the Sunderland line.[citation needed]
