I often stand on one side of the road in Birtley for one (the one being due), to see the other fly by in the opposite direction.
Its one of the main causes of it been late regardless. Without the roadworks could be due to the amount of layover time at each end been too small so a specific journey wont be able to make that much time up at the other end because it will have to go out on another journey pretty much straight away (ie 2 mins layover or something, again, im no expert).
