For me the main issue with DBS is the size rather than the dilapidated state.
At the minute Durham Bus Station is far too small for the amount of buses that use it. Not long back, I was on the X21 and we had to go round 3 or 4 times because there was no stand available. It's not uncommon to see a 21 or X21 parked at the end with passengers having to walk in front of the buses at stand L
Capacity has been an issue for a long time and the plans for the new station haven't offered any improvement.
