Obviously the same applies to Gateshead Interchange. Just last week I noticed another X12 towards Middlesbrough omitting it - and it was actually a Stockton one, as opposed to a Durham one... Not that I am suggesting there is any difference in the quality of operation between Stockton and Durham...
It could be down to the fact that the X12's on a Sunday aren't the regular drivers as its spread across all rotas. It's been notified though since October that the X12 stops there on return to Middlesbrough so there's no excuse for turning left out of the bus station.
