Newcastle Airport terminal entrance bus stop
Newcastle Airport terminal entrance bus stop
I’ve flown from Newcastle Airport for decades and only just realised there’s a bus stop outside the terminal. I didn’t realise the airport was served by buses at all.
Stagecoach X78 stops on Ponteland Road but I wouldn’t class that as the airport. I wonder why they don’t use the proper airport bus stop? I’m sure people would use the bus over the Metro, workers / people who live in the west end of town. It wouldn’t add much to the journey time and I bet it would make the bus more attractive. No one wants to walk from Ponteland Road with luggage in all weathers.

Can't remember the number, but getting that and heading out on to the viewing platform to see the odd Dan Air and not much else, was always a highlight.

I don't think any NX services have ran though there for a decade!That's right, was route 383 which ceased in 2012. Edinburgh to Wrexham via Jedburgh, Newcastle and Leeds.
100 between Ashington/Morpeth and Kirkley Hall/Cramlington used to run to the airport until 2014/5. Plenty of local routes before then too.

Over the last few years I've seen the following services (Off the top of my head) operate via the Airport.
42A - Kingston Park - North Shields via North Tyneside
100 - Kirkley Hall - Morpeth / Ashington

Before the Metro was extended and the airport expanded, the Darras Hall Expresses used to serve the Airport (there's footage of an Atlantean there in an episode of Auf Wiedersehen Pet), and there was the Metrolink shuttle from Airport to Bank Foot.
