John Dobson/Market street will remain accessible to traffic. Believe that's part the reason why buses (GNE) no longer serve north end pilgrim street and new bridge street
Ah never realised that tbf. Personally imo there should be a bus station built around there; I know it won't be best suited in terms of location but if people are really serious about clean air etc; there's no reason for all of the southbound bus services to be travelling around to the North side of Newcastle; Eldon Square could then be used to take over some of the services from Haymarket which is seriously congested at the best of times. Could also potentially move the coach station into the same place a bit like Leeds instead of it being miles out the centre down by Scotswood Road.
It could also help generate the area and get a real anchor to the area having a passing trade on the door step as it's a bit on a stuck limb atm Pilgrim Street etc.
Bit off topic though must admit.
