Haymarket bus station is a bus station located in the Haymarket area of Newcastle upon Tyne. It is situated next to the Haymarket Metro station, by the northern end of Northumberland Street and almost adjacent to Newcastle University.
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 & Spencer shop, necessitating the demolition of a number of properties. The opportunity was taken to enlarge the bus station from 9 to 13 stands.
The station has fourteen bus stands, twelve for departures (stands L to X), and two alighting points (Y & an unnamed bus parking stand). The bus stands continue the lettering sequence of nearby Eldon Square bus station (stands AâÂÂK; no I). A Nexus enquiry office and an Arriva travel shop are based within the bus station.
Haymarket bus station is mainly served by Arriva North East, with other routes operated by Go North East and independent operators. Services mainly operate to the north and east of the city, as well as North Tyneside and east Northumberland.
Buses from the nearby Eldon Square bus station serve destinations in the west of the city, as well as Gateshead, County Durham, Teesside and the Tyne Valley. Most long-distance coaches serve the separate Newcastle coach station.
