When you say Hirst do you mean the Wansbeck Hospital/North Seaton area or the town centre? I know that the entire area was once called Hirst.
I've walked through every part of Ashington except Fallowfields/Green Lane. Do never under any circumstances get off the X22 in that place.
It was next to a large, modern school which looked like it had only been built recently in the North Seaton area. The library I found was in the school grounds. This was around 2 in the afternoon.

Aye, I know where your talking about now. That Northern Social Club is full of chavs, the bus stops are lined with smash-proof metal with small holes in. Around the corner is a rough skate park where all sorts of banned substances get traded. Thankfully I don't live in that part of Ashington! I fear for my life everytime I pass through on the bus!

4Paws and 1&2 Lintonville Terrace were demolished earlier this month. The only building that's been listed for demolition is the carpet shop, model shop and Tip Top Tyres.

The new Leisure Centre is due to open in early January. A new road linking the existing roundabout with Nisa will then be built closing the section of road between the roundabout and the Asda traffic lights. This section will then become the new bus station.
RE: Ashington redevelopments - omnicity4659 - 14 Jan 2016
The new leisure centre opened a few days ago. Works on the new roads and the various other improvements including the bus station and Portland Park start soon.

Regeneration works have started on Station Road (the main street), which will reopen to all westbound traffic when completed.
Surely when this has finished, Lintonville Terrace closes to begin work on the new bus station?

Work gathers pace with re-development.
RE: Ashington redevelopments - passenger_10 - 22 Mar 2017
As of tonight bus shelters at stops D and E have been removed and that part of the station is barried off. X20 to Newcastle and 1 to Blyth are using the stop beside the portacabin.
The new road that buses will be using (between the current site and the end the terrace of buildings on Lintonville Terrace) looks nearly ready but there are no shelters yet and the site hoardings need to be completed ahead of Sunday night.

1 and X20 should be leaving from stand C but I saw an X20 in B earlier.
Portacabin gets moved up to the temporary bus station on the 25th I'm told about a week ago, so plans have probably changed due to the delays in the works.
Shelter D was removed this morning (22nd), and E was removed on the 20th. Stand E is being disposed of as far as I'm aware, currently sat in the old depot.

Services have moved over to the interim bus station a day earlier than planned, as the portacabin was moved yesterday, and the wooden boards painted.

(26 Mar 2017, 10:30 am)omnicity4659 Services have moved over to the interim bus station a day earlier than planned, as the portacabin was moved yesterday, and the wooden boards painted.
From Monday 16th October, the interim bus station will close. Changes to the plans with Arch and Northumberland County Council see that Ashington will no longer have a 'proper' bus station.
From first bus on Monday 16th October, two new bus stops opposite Poundstretcher will open.
Information from Arriva regarding the closure:
Service 1 towards Blyth (services from Widdrington/Cresswell/Wansbeck Hospital) will now depart from Woodhorn Road, outside of Sports Direct (current 35 to Morpeth stand)
Service 1 towards Blyth (services that start from Ashington) will now depart from Stand G (current 35 to Woodhorn stand).
Service 1 to Wansbeck Hospital/Cresswell/Widdrington will now depart from Woodhorn Road, outside of Select Conveniences.
All other services will depart from the new bus stops outside Poundstretcher, on both sides of the road.
