Stand allocations don't seem to be taken into account as much as in Tyne & Wear, a classic example being early evening on stand K where the 7, X12 & X21 got timed to be put on the same stand at the same time which was clearly not considered when the GNE Chester-le-Street bound services were shifted from stand B to L and Newcastle bound X12's got put onto stand K with the 7 & Bishop bound X21's. For as long as I can remember stand C has had the X15 (previously 15) and 16A both timed to depart at 08:50 on a Saturday morning.

A major one I've just noticed is the 49/49A are now on the same stand as the 204/265 with clashes (stand G) whilst stand F has only service 52 roughly every 2 to 2 and a half hours, think F is not favoured due to only being suitable to smaller buses so as 49/49A is now typically allocated larger buses I'm guessing it was moved from F to G, probs should've moved the 204/265 onto F as apart from a few peak 265s being decker allocated the vast majority are allocated Solo SRs.
