Worswick Street bus station was a bus station in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The bus station was constructed on a slope.[1]
History[]
The Tyne Bridge was opened in 1928 and allowed many bus services that formerly terminated in Gateshead to continue across the Tyne to Newcastle.[2] Worswick Street bus station was opened with the bridge, or shortly after.[3][1]
The bus station closed in 1996. Demolition of the disused bus station began in January 2021.[3] In July 2021, plans for an office block on the space previously occupied by the bus station and an adjacent car park were approved by Newcastle City Council.[4]
