For more than six decades, passengers caught buses to and from this city centre bus station.
The first mention of it came in 1928 when The Journal reported: " Newcastle Watch Committee yesterday instructed the City Engineer to invite tenders for the construction of the Marlborough Crescent bus station."
It was a time when the 'autobus' was on the rise, gradually becoming the preferred mode of public transport for local commuters ahead of the tram and the train.
