Newcastle Corporation had services 60-65 which all ventured along Shields Road, Chillingham Road and Benton Road before heading out of the city boundary towards various destinations including West Moor and Forest Hall. Four Lane Ends station didn't exist then, and Killingworth was nowhere near as extensive as it is now. I suspect that the service 64 may have operated between West Denton shops and West Moor but am happy to be corrected.61 from Four Lane then to Longbenton Estate
On the other side of the city, such exotic locations as Westerhope and Stamfordham Road were also served.
Wistfully stuck in the 70s !!
62 from Four Lane Ends to West Moor then Killingworth West Bailey
63 from Four Lane Ends to West Moor then Killingworth East Bailey
64 from Four Lane Ends to Longbenton (Goathland Ave) and Forest Hall turning Circle
65 from Four Lane Ends to Whitley Road and Benton Station to Forest Hall turning circle.
At that time I think the 61/62/63 ran from Central Station and the 64/65 from from Stamfordham Road and West Denton.
