I've notice this happens quite often with buses passing through Blackett Street onwards to Eldon Square bus station. It only ever seems to be specific services that do it, which made me think it could perhaps be automated and not working correctly? Seen this on the X1, X9/X10, 10, and 21 through Newcastle, the 2A/2C in Washington, and the 2A/2C/56 in Sunderland.

I assume because the 21 doesn't pick up any passengers (though technically it could) after entering Newcastle and to allow the driver to pull straight onto stand so people can see if he's Durham or CLS before he enters on stand
Time saving efficiency?
The old 221/723 services used to roll the blinds way before Worswick Street then Eldon Square too
