Durham Bus Station is a nightmare while North Road road works are still on been informed that it now May till completed

Aye - KNW looked fixed, last week, but was glitching like mad, this morning.
The problem with those E200s is the same as the arriva ones - the urban 90 seats. No padding whatsoever and I have HMS/EDS and fell and bruised my hip, a year or so ago - probably worse than bruised, but I've given up getting injuries investigated. After 45 minutes on one of those, I'm lucky if i can stand up again. If I'm using an arriva ticket to get to the Arnison centre, I time it so I can at least spend one leg of the journey with my knees to my chin on dart on the 62 because it hurts less.
I'm doing better than I was 5 years or so ago, mind. I had a course of hydrorotherapy and the bus journey there and back (I think there were SPDs on the 63/64 back then) left me feeling worse than the hydrotherapy made me feel better. I just walked back into Durham, one day, because i couldn't face the rickety bus and knew I wasn't in time for a 7 from UHND into Durham. The musch newer fleet has made a big difference to me.
Unfortunately for SB, i don't think they can make such an investment.
