A number of important decisions in connection with the establishment of bus stations in the city was reached by the watch committee of the Newcastle Corporation at a recent meeting. One of the most important was the decision to rescind a previous resolution, which prohibited motorbus traffic entering the city vL, the new Tyne Bridge from running farther into the city than City Road. The effect of that decision was to prohibit the Northern General
24 Transport Co., Ltd., from going ahead with its project for the erection of a £25,000 bus station in Worswick Street, but now that the ban has been removed the company will take prompt steps to expedite its plans.
The committee also approved plans and estimates submitted by the city engineer for the erection of a municipal station in Marlborough Crescent at a cost of approximately 15,000 for traffic to the city from the West Tyne die
tricts. It is stated that this station will be capable of coping with 1,100 buses per day.
The proposal to -erect a station in the Haymarket for traffic from the north and north-east districts at a cost of about 12,000, was deferred for further consideration. The committee is also actively engaged on the task of securing a third site for a station to be used by traffic from the south, via the new Tyne Bridge.
