Haymarket Bus Station | Newcastle Upon Tyne

Walk through Haymarket Bus Station, Newcastle. 03/08/2020. Haymarket Bus Station is one of two bus stations serving Newcastle City Centre. The original bus station opened in 1930 and was rebuilt in 1971. It was completely rebuilt again, on a slightly different site, in 1996. This second rebuild was due to the expansion of the nearby Marks and Spencer shop, necessitating the demolition of a number of properties. The opportunity was taken to enlarge the bus station from 9 to 13 stands. It is located in the Haymarket area of the city centre, near to the northern end of Northumberland Street, as well as Newcastle University, Northumbria University's City Campus, and Newcastle Civic Centre. It is adjacent to Haymarket Metro station and Eldon Square bus station. A Nexus enquiry office and an Arriva travel shop are based within the bus station. The station has 13 bus stands, lettered L to Y, with an additional alighting point located outside the main bus station building. (The bus stands in Eldon Square bus station are lettered A to K.) A design fault in the glass roof caused panels to flex and dislodge from the frame in hot weather. A safety net was erected below the entire roof in July 2006, after a panel fell from the roof and injured a pedestrian. Since then the bus station has been redesigned, with the overhead glass panelling being replaced with a more solid roof structure. Haymarket bus station is mainly served by Arriva North East, with other routes operated by Go North East and Phoenix Coaches. Services operate to the north and east of the city, North Tyneside and Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth, Cramlington and Morpeth.
