Out of interest, does anyone know what happens when the LHD coaches are allocated to Megabus work in areas where it wouldn't really be safe to board from the main doors? Is the door in the middle of the coach on the other side used for boarding instead? Could probably get away with using the main doors in Park Lane Interchange for example, but you'd have to go into the road in Newcastle.
Could always pull up into the coach bay on the opposite side of the road in Newcastle therefore ensuring passenger safety.
