Durham will have slightly more layover space when the new bus station opens, plus the longer bays to make it less tight, but neither were ever it's biggest problem. The lack of discipline from one operator in particular in how they use the bus station was.
Yeah totally agreed and it messed up Haymarket up at the same time as there used to be the massive layover space and buses could loop around the back of the car park to get out instead of all parking in the actual bus station waiting to get out (which they can't get out as Eldon Square buses block the exit quite often).
It's a bit of a mess imo.
