They haven't learned anything from the 2013 or 2015 events then... the solution is not just the size of the buses, but simply the frequency in most cases. People are in and out of Lumiere all evening, so the crowds just end up filling the bus station in no time. Breaking down the waffle in the link provided, it seems that there are actually very few changes -
6 - Additional journeys to create a 30 minute frequency all evening, as oppose to the usual hourly service.
7 - No changes.
22 - No changes.
24 - Five additional journeys on Sunday evening (hourly frequency)
43 - No changes.
48 - Four additional Sunday evening journeys (hourly frequency)
49 - Six additional Sunday evening journeys (half hourly frequency)
56 - Three additional journeys. The 1950 x Durham is normal timetable, despite being highlighted as an extra.
57/57A - No changes, but inaccurate statement of "Normal timetables will apply throughout the event, with buses running up to every 15 minutes" - these services never run up to every 15 minutes, and the timetable certainly doesn't suggest any changes. 1810 is still the last departure from Durham.
61/62 - No changes.
64 - Three extra journeys Durham-Arnison Centre only on Sunday evening.
X12 - No changes.
X46 - No changes.
Commuting should be fun.
