Temporary closure of Eldon Square bus station - Adrian - 21 May 2026
From: https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/eldon-square-bus-station-temporary-closure
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 to help you easily locate the correct boarding point. 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.
All other city centre stops will still be served as planned.

Bet that will be fun for Passengers. I do wonder which way most of the services will loop around to get back into their actual route. Once they've departed the Newgate Stands

How the hell does it take 3 weeks to resurface a bus station... This should be a weekend job working 24/7.

Because it also includes drainage work.

That will be hell when there are multiple 50 person + queues out on the street due to delayed and cancelled buses at peak times. Another reason to not bother making that journey.
