By the way does anyone know if older preserved buses get charged entering the nexus/council bus stations in the north east?

I must admit, I prefer all services serving the bus station. If you’re just going to the shops then yeah alighting at Holmeside might be preferable but if you’re connecting via the bus station to a different bus service or onto the metro then getting dropped off at Holmeside and having to walk to the bus station in the winter, just annoys me. When really those going to just the shops or for leisure activities won’t be that inconvenienced by walking from the bus station to the shopping centre or whatever, as they’re not in a major rush unlike someone making connections. It’s also nicer to wait in a bus station which is lit up and has some shelter when waiting to board services too or even when waiting for someone else getting off a different service.
