Shelters to disappear?

The plans for Newcastle City Centre have moved forward. The £3 million investment will see Blackett Street, the north end of Pilgrim Street and New Bridge Street closed to buses and taxis in the interim with hopes to fully pedestrianise in the future.

(08 Jan 2018, 9:22 pm)Northern4555 Who owns worswick bus station,is it still GNE, and what about nexus buying the site and car park behind it and build a new bus station,which would help take pressure off roads in newcastle

(08 Jan 2018, 9:52 pm)ifm001 Think its council owned now, but it just needs a bit of TLC and could easily take all the Tyne Bridge/High Level services from GNE ANE and SNE

(08 Jan 2018, 10:14 pm)markydh   Just needs a bit of TLC?  It would break pretty much every health, safety and accessibility rule in the book!  Never going to happen, and besides which, it's a bloody hike from there to town!  At least be realistic.  The intention is to ultimately build a new bus station on Durrant Road for south of Tyne bus routes (i.e. those that enter Newcastle via the Tyne Bridge).  But for now, the council are looking at introducing a bus loop.  I have no idea whether it will be clockwise or anti-clockwise but there are already some GNE drivers that access Eldon Square from the Haymarket direction.  I bet the same people who say this will be 'disastrous' are the same people who said it about the pedestrianisation of Northumberland Street.  Now who would even dream of reintroducing traffic on there?!?!

A hike from there to town. Out of Worswick Street next street is Pilgrim Street (in the town)

For years it was good enough for people to walk to and from. Course its not too far.

(09 Jan 2018, 12:06 am)markydh It's further than Market Street, which is the way buses would go.  Uphill.  Sorry, but Worswick Street is just an enthusiast's misty eyed wet dream.
