Looks like the buses would park where you currently wait, and you would wait where they currently park? Also seems they would enter from where they exit, and exit from the current entrance?

Got the 733 after a Saturday game and it was never off the same stand as the 724 (or 231)

The old old design looks fantastic, although I imagine problems could have been caused by break downs etc?
(Am I the only one who tried to figure out which Enviro was exiting on the new picture? )

Looking back at photo's etc, it makes you realise that everything used to be better (in my opinion anyway) bus-wise. Look at the amount of services, and the vehicles that operated them! 
Give me an Olympian, and I couldn't care less about fancy free Wi-Fi, plugs or stop announcements... (I'm sure others would prefer other buses, for other reasons, but that's my memory of what it used to be like)

(08 Jan 2015, 9:45 pm)MurdnunoC If I recall, the extra stand was always there but not used for some reason. Worswick Street had probably closed by 1997 which is why it was needed for the Co. Durham services.
That's probably why I get the stands on that side mixed up.
