More issues in Durham Bus Station today:
First a Diamond Citaro had to be removed from service and had to be dumped on one the layover bays.
Then things went wrong when Arriva Lowlander 7444 broke down on the 43 stand (not the first time this heap has broke down whilst on a stand either) one knock on affect this caused is the 22 had to pull onto the service 7 stand which meant the 7 had to pull onto the 20/20A stand which resulted in the 20A having to pull in next to the 7 on what isn't a stand with a Lowlander receiving attention next to it and the 20A stopping there meant there was little room to get through especially for the 7 when it wanted to leave. Another issue with where the 20A was stopped was it was not suitable for wheelchairs, I saw someone pushing a wheelchair that went right round the back of the service 7 on the stand to get onto the 20A, thankfully there was a few more minutes until the 7 was due to leave and there was no buses trying to leave the bus station at the time.
Also as ever buses were backed up onto the roundabout for a good few minutes back to the North Road junction which meant it was blocking buses leaving North Road and was also blocking other traffic on the roundabout.
