I can probably work out two using logic:
- Buses need to be low floor
- Route numbers need to be on the Right (left if inside the bus)

Although I'm not sure she's been at CLS that long, prior to the big rota changes a while back I can't recall ever seeing her driving a bus in CLS. Perhaps she was working for another depot at the time of their meeting in Durham?
Any CLS drivers know any more?

Services 20/20A observe the bus stop closest to Park Lane (ie the Stagecoach 3/4/13 stop) as it's a Durham Road service.
Services 35/36 observe the next stop down from my observations - not sure if they're meant to stop here though.
Services 2/2A observe the next stop down from that (ie the Stagecoach 16 stop) as it's direct to Chester Rd opposed to a Park Lane service.
If the 35/36 are rightly using the second stop down from The Point, then I've seen no driver incorrectly using a stand. Even when there has been congestion and drivers have had to wait to pull in, they've always used those stands.

Like I say, I personally haven't seen any misuse of bus stops, but could understand some of the possible reasons behind it.

I raise the issue because the 20's are due to arrive at 05, 25, 45 minutes past the hour but the Stanley Travel service 40 should be on the stand departing at 06, 26, 46 minutes past the hour (1 minute after the 20's arrive).
Haven't seen any problems happen yet though.
