I would suggest that's historical, but I used to wait at Haymarket for the odd service to Low Fell. I suspect it's been tidied up by not having services crossing over.
Biggest problem with my plan of having a Metrocentre service to Haymarket would be entering Haymarket from Percy Street as you obviously can't enter via the exit and I don't think you can enter Haymarket by turning right on Percy Street and if you can that would cause tailbacks because of the bus waiting to turn right, ideally heading to Haymarket it would have to loop round Newcastle probably along John Dobson Street and St Mary's Place to reach Haymarket. Yeah it might also be tricky turning left out of Haymarket especially as traffic often stays backed up to the yellow box and sometimes in the yellow box, you could get round it by going through Eldon Square Bus Station.
