Another pic of the outside of Haymarket. Taken on Wednesday. The station isn’t finished yet, but it’s getting pretty close now.

July 30, 2009 - Haymarket’s New Station

Today’s photo was taken by Nicole, my (Cassandra) roommate while I lived in Newcastle. If you’ve got a moment, visit her writing blog! http://a-writing-life.blogspot.com

The Haymarket scheme, led by private developer 42nd Street Hub, will see the station completely rebuilt with a new four-storey building above the concourse and improved passenger facilities at ground level and below.

Landmark steel arched trusses form the frame of the building.

Tolent Construction are currently building the project, due to be completed in late 2009, based on the design devised and developed by Newcastle architects Reid Jubb Brown Partnership working together with consulting engineers Arup and Metro’s own project and engineering staff.

July 29, 2009 - Haymarket Sunset

Two sunsets taken in the Haymarket area. The first one is new, and i’m pretty sure the second is a repost, but might be new as well.

(Edited by Beth to say that it’s just a nice coincidence to have two Haymarket shots in a row!)

(Edited by Cassandra to say that Beth should hot-foot it to Haymarket today and get a shot of the new station from the outside (if she doesn’t have one already) or I can post one that Nicole has if Beth doesn’t have a photo ready for tomorrow and we can make it a Haymarket theme week!) :)

(Edited by Beth to say I’ve got a shot, I’ll put it up for tomorrow!)
Errrm, don’t mind us :)

Platform 2, which heads north towards South Gosforth. This is the southernmost point of the platform, where the train enters.
