AN urgent investigation is under way after a pane of glass fell from a Newcastle bus station roof, shattering yards from passengers.
Haymarket bus station has been closed indefinitely and bus services re-routed to temporary stops after the incident on Saturday afternoon.
Newcastle City Council highway chiefs yesterday met at the site with contractors to determine what happened. No one was injured when the pane of glass shattered over the station's pedestrian walkway.
The incident compounded a bomb scare which crippled the city centre rail station on Saturday afternoon
