  wow things have changed. the old eldon square bus station was a blackout concrete pit of pure diesel fumes into which no natural light was allowed, but for some reason people were. you would have thought that a bus waiting there for 25 minutes could afford to switch off the engine to allow a little oxygen into the place but apparently not.

  Danny, I agree, anything must be an improvement on the old subterranean bus station with its noxious fumes. I used to avoid the place like the plague. We used to have above ground bus stations all over Newcastle but there aren’t many left. The ones I remember are Gallowgate, Worswick Street, Haymarket, Marlborough Crescent and I am sure there was another one but I can’t remember it.

  Strange isn’t it?! I only had to use that old bus station once. Once was quite enough for a lifetime.
