All the Metro stations between Sunderland and Fellgate apart from the Stadium of Light station are on straight bits of track, whereas the Stadium of Light station is on a curve so there needs to be a larger gap to allow the longer National Rail locos, wagons and coaches to go around the curve without removing the platform edge as they go past.
