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?!?!
Be realistic!!!!
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.
