Thing is, for services to Newcastle, only the 6, 45/46/47 are moving stands whilst the 10/10A/10B will remain on the same stands. The likes of the 49/49A will move onto the stand the X22/X88 use whilst they move onto stand C which is currently only used by the hourly Nexus service 84. So there is going to be buses spaced about a bit more and means less buses wanting to be on the same stands like what happens now with the GNE Newcastle services. One downside is that the 6, 45/46/47 will leave from a different stand to the 10/10A/10B which means passengers will either have to wait for a bus to turn up at a specific stop or shuffle between the two stands that the GNE Newcastle services will leave from.
