How many stands will the new bus station have?

Is there any plans?

Providing the plan hasn't changed, I believe that the old bus station is being demolished and replaced by new apartments. There's more information here on that.

A diagram of the new bus station is attached. It retains the building in the centre like the current bus station - I believe this is to be made out of glass, making it look quite modern and attractive. You can't (or at least I couldn't) get a feel for quite how 'narrow' the building actually is until you see it in the flesh - I was over that way a few weeks back and I, despite being told prior that it would be quite narrow, was surprised.

I think (though may be wrong) that the stands on the main road will be for the Newcastle-bound services - all of which head off in that direction towards Corbridge.

All in all a vast improvement on the current bus station though.
