I've just witnessed the X45 doing the same, turning around at Central Station thus missing out Newgate Street and Eldon Square.

What about those passengers wishing to board at Wilko's?

Actually at one point today services were running out out from Eldon square via the boulevard and coming back in via central station, which is probably what you saw, stops were still served going into Newcastle, only Wilkos was missed on the way out.  Better than lines of buses waiting 20-30 mins to get to central.
