Haymarket bus station is a bus station located in the Haymarket area of Newcastle upon Tyne. [1] It is situated next to the Haymarket Metro station, by the northern end of Northumberland Street and almost adjacent to Newcastle University.
The original bus station opened in 1930 and was rebuilt in 1971. [2] It was completely rebuilt again, on a slightly different site, in 1996. [3] This second rebuild was due to the expansion of the nearby Marks & Spencer shop, necessitating the demolition of a number of properties. The opportunity was taken to enlarge the bus station from 9 to 13 stands. [3]
The station has 13 bus stands, lettered L to Y, with an additional alighting point located outside the main bus station building. [4] The bus stands in nearby Eldon Square bus station are lettered A–K. A Nexus enquiry office and an Arriva travel shop are based within the bus station.
Haymarket bus station is mainly served by Arriva North East, with other routes operated by Go North East and independent operators. Services mainly operate to the north and east of the city, as well as North Tyneside and east Northumberland.
Buses from the nearby Eldon Square bus station serve destinations in the west of the city, as well as Gateshead, County Durham, Teesside and the Tyne Valley. Most long-distance coaches serve the separate Newcastle coach station.

Construction of a new bus and coach station to replace the congested Haymarket station, Newcastle upon Tyne, has now been completed.
The row of largely closed-down shops next to the station would soon fall victim to the bulldozers. So too would the popular Farmer's Rest pub. If this incarnation was built in 1920, there had been an inn and hotel on this site for around 200 years. The reason for the arrival of the wrecking ball in this part of Newcastle was the major expansion of the city's Marks & Sparks store. [...] The old bus station, which had been spruced up and expanded in 1971, would be entirely rebuilt hand-in-hand with M&S. The new £1m station was officially opened by Newcastle United star Peter Beardsley on April 1, 1996.
