Busiest Individual Bus Stop
Busiest Individual Bus Stop
Seen some talking about Hill Street in Newcastle about the number of buses and it got me thinking, which bus stop has the most buses stopping at it where you can board a bus?
This has to be an individual bus stop so not split bus stop or a bus station etc.
I'll start it with the Brandling Arms in Gosforth towards Newcastle and Askew Road towards the Tyne Bridge which both have 36 buses an hour, is there any higher?

The stop at Westoe Road/Wharton Street in South Shields has nearly every bus in Shields going through it. 14 different services I think.

Durham University Hospital has 22

In practice, you stand there for 10 minutes then 3 buses turn up at once.
There's some busy ones by Barnes park.

The ridiculous single stop outside Sunderland Interchange that every service queues to use on Stockton Road has to be in the running too

(03 Apr 2024, 2:19 am)pbjd The stop on Crossgate will be even busier due to serving routes coming into the town via Laygate as well as routes that leave via Westoe Road, but I think the busiest in Shields would be Station Road with only the 10, 516 and E1 not observing the stop.

Are we talking busy in regards to people standing there at the stop or are we thinking busy as in buses per hour...?
If it is the first then I would say Blackett St for the 39/40 & 62/63 which get very busy even on Evenings/sundays.
And for buses per hour I'd say the stop leaving Gateshead Interchange....

(03 Apr 2024, 7:51 am)Rob44 all wrong . its the stop at Gateshead interchange for buses heading to Newcastle. Click on this stop on the GNE app and then track buses and the screen is all pretty with different coloured buses!

Just very quickly working it out, it's only 34 buses an hour there, so slightly less than the 2 I said

(03 Apr 2024, 1:48 pm)Rob44 are we counting the buses that set down there only as per say they are still using the stop?? ( clutching at straws!)
Has to pick up people haha, Barras Bridge into Newcastle, would probably win otherwise, even known you probably could board there if you were mentally insane.
