I'd imagine they're not all frequently used, but even stopping at 1/3 of those stops in a coach is likely to add significant delay onto your journey. You see it already with people navigating the steep steps on the X9/X10 interdecks.
Yeah that's a fair point, mind I'm not sure there many issues with timings when they were ran with the Plaxton coaches to pretty recently and ironically the Greenline coaches before that and there's no real difficulties with the Inverness to Thurso or Inverness to Aberdeen services which have similar stopping patterns.
Mind it was interesting to see the passengers moaning up in Thurso about interdeck coaches similar to the X9/X10 buses and wanted a normal coach back on - https://www.johnogroat-journal.co.uk/new...sm-204716/ over toilets.
