Header photo to bring back memories of Worswick St

Posted by Norman Dunn on 14/8/2026, 10:25 am

Today most people go to Newcastle on the Metro.
In the 'old days' most people got the bus to Newcastle and got off in Worswick St Bus Station full of smokey diesel fumes as the Bus drivers were sitting with engines running pouring out fumes. Even walking around Newcastle in the 50s buses were smokey diesels. Happy but unhealthy days they must have been.

Yes Norman, the sights of the queues, the loud sound of the diesel motors and the smells are easily conjured up from memory as though it were only a week or two ago. Sitting here day-dreaming!

I worked in Newcastle in the sixties and standing in the queue waiting for the bus at rush hour was orderly and no skipping the queue. I forget the Number of the bus that went to Wardley. I know a bus went to Washington and I got off at the Black Bull. Audrey will remember.
