Another badly designed bus station imo with so much wasted space that the majority of buses are trying to jam on 4 stands (K - M) which leads to timetables where buses are scheduled to be on the stand at the same time (17:45) X12 and 25 then on another stand the 57 and 51 being both due at (17:45) aswell. Just causes gridlock. The Newcastle bound stands are also really disconnected if you want to change aswell having to cross the road with buses usually driving like tools.Maybe but Middlesbrough don't have buses going through the bus station as much as sunderland you have all the Stagecoaches bar the X1/e's. And 20/35/2A/2/39/39A/38. So you need two stands or each of those obvs 2/2a each way can share.
It's a shame because both have enough land to be done like Boro but in typical Nexus fashion they went for the cheap option.
Not sure it does tbh. Boro has 21 stands (+ 3 coach stands) with 14 layover stands to get out the way when there's too many buses. I'd be very surprised if there's more than 21 buses needing to be in the bus station at the same time tbh if it was done right.
