And as I said before missed my departure time. So unfortunately I would do the same, 1 minute early onto stand (+6 mins recovery time). If the X21 is constantly late (which it’s not imo) then that’s up to the commercial department to sort out.
From my experience the X21 at Eldon Square is usually pretty solid, it's at Durham that I see most issues with buses being abandoned at the stands and the X21 having to go around because there's nowhere for it to pull in.
