Not that they would because why spend money on infrastructure but could always create a couple of stands suitable. Obviously this is with the idea that not every service will use them.

The stops on North Road are already in use for Durham City services. Having stops further down North road, as was the case while the bus station was being rebuilt was chaotic and dangerous and a nightmare for almost anyone with disabilities, whether physical, sensory or neurological.

Dual door buses are completely unnecessary for mostly rural and small town services that have at most half a dozen people getting on or off for most of the journey.

Also, TfL’s Kingston Bus Station has diagonal bays like Durham’s:

But what would the point be? We don't have consistently busy urban sprawl anywhere round here. Our city centres are all compact so there are no efficiency gains to be made there.
