I'm avoiding Durham City centre less now that we have our bus station back - getting a bus home was always so stressful with half our services leaving from one end of North road and half from the far end with an absolute scrum in between and I'm a fairly fit middle aged woman rather than someone elderly or with disabilities.
Yeah no arguments about Durham, it probably deserves one anyway. Lots of interchanging happens between services and also with the train aswell so it kinda makes sense being there and like you say it doesn't have the space anyway.
Makes sense when people interchange, it's when it's secondary towns where no-one changes buses they become a bit worthless.
Like personally the likes of Chester Le Street is perfect, few stands right in the core and you can get a bus. Never seen anyone moan about not having a station because they won't. If you have 20 minutes to burn you'd just pop into B&M or something to burn some time.
