Durham Bus Stn
Durham Bus Stn
(02 Jul 2016, 9:40 pm)Jimmi From Monday 4th July, Stand A will be out of use due to essential works that need to be carried out, services which use this stand will use a temporary bus stop outside the bus station on North Road (on the opposite side of the road to the stops for the 64). I'm not certain where the X12 is stopping at as the paper notice says ALL the services are stopping at this temporary stop but the screen on stand A was saying the X12 will leave from stand D during this time.

(02 Jul 2016, 9:44 pm)BusLoverMum I walked past that stop, this morning and wondered why I'd never noticed it before.
Does this mean they're fixing the knackered door?
The X12 is timetabled to leave just a minute before the ANE 24, so good luck with it trying to get onto stand D. There's already 8 buses an hour leaving from that stand!

(04 Jul 2016, 4:19 pm)RM2186 Stand B was also closed today due to the proximity of scaffolding being erected meaning that stand B departures shared stand C

(04 Jul 2016, 6:49 pm)BusLoverMum I bet that was chaos.
And i bet the 43 still spent 10 minutes at a time hogging stand D.

(04 Jul 2016, 7:03 pm)Adrian And the rest. It was chaos when I was there this evening.
Layover was full up of Prince Bishops Streetlites and an IndiGo Solo. A bit strange really, given that it was alleged that GNE don't use the rear layover bays...

Not sure at all

Only 3 layover stands, too.
I wonder if the architects ever spent a busy hour in the current one. Or if they even use public transport, ever.

I was on my phone and not counting the slot on the far right - on my laptop, it's more obviously a stand. No room for an extra emergency stand like there is, now!

That glass roof runs the risk of being a migraine waiting to happen - Consett bus station is hellish and always leaves me sick for the rest of the day, if the sun's out. Architects never think about these things - yes, panoramic windows are lovely to look at but pretty crap for people inside. The new-ish Sainsburys in Sedgefield ended up having to install blinds because the sun shone straight in, all the way to the back of the shop, in the evening.
The two behind will replace the existing North Road stops. Wonder if 12A is intended as the coach stop?
by the diagram, the bus station will have 3 layovers, 12 bus stands plus stand 12A, and north road will have 2 bus stops.
