Nobody turns up for a further 10 Minutes and meanwhile the GNE 44 and 15A have prevented other services using their allocated stands. Staff at the bus station don't care like. They've been out having a few tabs for the past 25 mins.
Sadly this is a normal occurrence.
Often services using stand J will often arrive early and another bus is on that stand, so they pull onto stand K which often results in Service 7 using stand L which means services 20/20A/40 pull in next to the stand.
Could drivers also turn up early for there shift instead of turning up one minute before the bus is due out which means the bus leaves late and buses have to pull onto the wrong stands.
