That would have been a strange rule for the driver to enforce. If you're stopping to pick up passengers then it's nigh on impossible to prevent passengers from alighting.
I still remember the X6 in the 80's, passengers were not able to alight from park Lane until Hastings Hill, The X6 used to go to Consett from Sunderland via Shiney Row, Bournmoor then Chester-Le-Street, used to take an Hour (not these days), then the X6 was curtailed via Washington Galleries, Chester-Le-Street and terminate at Langley Park.
