That would be interesting with the West Road to Metrocentre. I just thought Elswick Road/Benwell as it would pull in people from south of the West Road and north of Westmorland Road as well.
61- Newcastle-Throckley
64-Newcastle- Middle East Callerton
61/64 interworking at Central
62/63 interworking at Killingworth
With the 62/63, I think the Buses from the west would do what they correctly do, but loop round at New Bridge Street/Pilgrim Street.
If the facilities were better at Central Station (the old Bewick Street Bus Terminal!) then i'd agree with your 62/63 suggestion. Otherwise I'd do a loop of John Dobson Street, St Mary's Place and Percy Street
