When it was time to get off the bus I really struggled to get off the seat as there was no room to move, I eventually managed to get up and got off the bus, unfortunately it ended up having a bad affect on my bad knees so I currently can't walk properly and when I got off I had to sit on a ledge outside one of the shops on North Road and people were giving me strange looks because sitting outside a shop stretching your leg out and making noises of pain isn't normal. I really struggled to board the 7 in Durham Bus Station and my knee is still in great pain as I'm typing this on the 7 home and I still have to walk home yet.
I was also not in a good mood before this as I had 1314 to the Arnison Centre on the 62 but thankfully managed to get the backseat, unfortunately though one of the passengers was smoking an e-cigarette and keep giving me evil looks, said person was also on the 64 too which made me even more angry.
Prestiges are/were terrible for that. Insufficient space and the one backrest positioned at a particularly unconfortable angle.
