Like I say, I personally haven't seen any misuse of bus stops, but could understand some of the possible reasons behind it.
I was outside joplings this afternoon and all 3 bus stops were clear, and the 36 came in and pulled into the old middle stand then 2 minutes later the 20 arrived and had to pull into the first bus stop as the 36 was in his bus stop.
Nexus needs to do something about the first bus stop on fawcett street, the 5 and 12 was on the stand and the stagecoach 20 wanted to get in the stand aswell, so the 20 driver decided to be a arse and pull up right at the rear of the 12 with his backend over the junction blocking the traffic coming from holmside for at least 10 minutes as the 5 pulled away but the driver on the 12 decided to take his time, even the 33/39 had to pick passengers up from the outside lane as the stagecoach buses think their own the bus stop.
