I've seen an old bus timetable late 70s early 80s for the old Northern service 524 (Jarrow depot) which operated South Shields - Jarrow - Newcastle (South Shields - Jarrow - Heworth only 1984-1986).  The terminus point for Newcastle prior to 1984 was listed as Carliol Square as opposed to Workswick Street.  I'm aware Carliol Square is or was the small approach street into Worswick Street, did a number of services omit the bus station and operate straight down the left hand side to a different terminus? It's always intrigued me this and cant find anything on google other than Worswick Street Bus Station.

I've racked my brains on this. Carliol Square hasn't been a through road since the Central Motorway was built. Its more a Carliol half a square. 

I can't think of anywhere on what is left of Carliol Square for a vehicle to turn around or do a u-turn of any sort and the only place I can think of where a vehicle could stop, is on the junction of Carliol Square and Worswick St.


I certainly can't remember a stop being there (although I do remember vehicles laying over towards the bottom of the bus station and also blocking off the very bottom set of stops in the bus station.
I also remember the stop outside the cafe/papershop and the likes of the 301 stopping there.

Edit: just found this - https://images.app.goo.gl/GwVJoaKuYtfDGhSy7 could this be the 524 in the distance? That 522 doesn't look like it has came out of the station, so could have been at the same stand.
