Newcastle Coach Station is a coach station located in Newcastle upon Tyne. It opened in 2003, as a replacement for the former Gallowgate Coach Station.[1][2]
The coach station is located on Churchill Street, and is a short walk from Newcastle railway station. It is one of three bus stations in the city centre – the others being Eldon Square and Haymarket.
The coach station has five bays, with very limited facilities now, as the booking office, waiting room, seating and toilet facilities have now closed. A taxi rank is available on Churchill Street.[3] Above the bays is a translucent curved canopy roof, with a glazed block screen wall.
Newcastle Coach Station is served mainly by National Express, however, it is also used by a number of independent operators – including JH Coaches and Wright Bros. of Alston. The station is not served by Megabus, with services instead using a stop on John Dobson Street, adjacent to Newcastle City Library.[4]
