(26 Aug 2014, 8:01 pm)Andreos Constantopolous Aye, x90, x3, x4 and if I remember right, the x5 all served the estate at one point or another - missing the stops out.
A lot of people gave up waiting because of it. Whether complaints were made, is another thing.

This bloke did seem apologetic - will see if it happens again.
It is out in the public domain now, Nexus insiders could see the comments on here. Will make it official next time.

On a slightly different note, does anyone know why the 37 doesn't call at the same stand as the 4/x1?
Never been able to work out, why it calls at the stand it does.
Imagine it's because the stands are quite busy as it is? The X1 can often have waiting time there, and the 4 likewise.
Adding another bus to the mix would mean buses going onto the stand behind possibly.

That was my initial thoughts, but then look at the number of services (and frequency) which use the stand (can never remember numbers), the 37 does use.

I thought it was just the Silver Arrows, and then the X88 on weekends? W5/W6 stand behind it.

The Silver Arrows doesn't tend to layover on the stand it picks up at, if it has time to sit there...

M2/M3 and possibly the 50 (not 100% sure on that).

Not sure then.

I know I've jumped off an X1 before and a 37 has been pulled in, but not a Silver Arrows...

Obviously when an X1 is in, a 4 should be in.

Yes, thinking about it, that looks about right.

Had a feeling there were a few anomalies in the stand allocation and what I said with the m2/m3.

Not sure I agree with the stand allocation at all, but it isn't relevant to the thread.
Time for a new thread? Wink

Sure there is a Thread called "Bus Station Designs" or something along those lines in the "Off Topic Bus Chat" section of the Forum.

That thread was more for 'fantasy' bus stations if you like. I've created a new general thread for bus stations (that exist) in the NE.

The two worse bus stations must be in Hartlepool. The so called Interchange is a joke it only has the 57 and a few coaches using it while Seaton Carew only has the Middlesbrough Service 1 stopping in it. Can anyone think of any worse examples

I think Hartlepool is fine without a major bus station/interchange and Marina Way. Its not as if its too far to Walk from the Marina. Its too small for a bus station and doesnt have that many bus services.

Regardless of how many services terminate at the Interchange, its not that far to walk from the Town Centre. Hartlepool is just a small town and i dont think there is anywhere (close to the city centre) to build a bus station or any space to extend the Interchange to house more routes.

The ANE services all used to stop there - they now follow the x35 around Marina Way.

Yes i meant the 58 and not the 57 the only other service to use the Interchange is the Scarlet Band Eveing 22 . Some 36 buses use it as a lay over but all other services terminate at Marina or Victoria Road. It was a waste of money. A better place for a bus station is the Shopping Centre Car Park off Park Road
