Here are 4 journeys you could do on the Metro green line to earn your Betterpoints

Hop on the Metro from Sunderland station and head to the coast. Seaburn has plenty to offer including their well renowned Stack which has a whole host of food vendors. Keep adding points by talking a long walk down to the beach and enjoy the sea views.
National Glass Centre
Head to St Peter's Metro station and take a 15 minute walk to The National Glass Centre. It's a great museum in Sunderland where you can learn all about glass making techniques and walk around the exhibitions. From Sunderland Metro station to St Peter's plus the 15 minute walk you could earn up to 35 Betterpoints! If you are already a keen Betterpoints earner, 2500 points means you can get a free hot drink at the centre.
