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.

This is Benjamin Greens Railway Office at the old 1837 Carliol Square terminus of the rail line from the coast. This was just south of the Newcastle Gaol originally south of Worswick St. This is taken in the sixties with the central motorway in construction behind and as you can see occupied by Northern
