Eldon Square Bus Station Temporary Closure

1 month ago Thu 21st May 2026

Eldon Square Bus Station will be closed while Newcastle City Council carry out essential resurfacing work, from 10 until 28 June. 

During this period, most Go North East services that usually serve Eldon Square will arrive and depart from Newgate Street instead. This is with the exception of service 74, which will temporarily use Stand Y at Haymarket Bus Station, and services 684 and X85, which will run from a temporary stop located near the Eldon Square Bus Station entrance. 

Stops on Newgate Street will be renumbered NG1-NG5, these stops are where you will board your bus when leaving Newgate Street and disembark when arriving. The table and map below provide a full list of stopping locations for effected services. 

If you usually board your bus on Newgate Street, your bus stop there may have changed so please use the table below to find out where your bus will stop while Eldon Square is closed. 

Services 355 and 356 will depart from Stand T (rather their usual Stand X) at Haymarket for the duration of the works. 

All other city centre stops will still be served as planned.

Ahead of the works beginning, we have been working hard with partners at Nexus and the council to improve the waiting environment on Newgate Street, with additional seating and real-time displays scheduled to be installed in the area before the diversions begin.
