I'm not certain where the X12 is stopping at as the paper notice says ALL the services are stopping at this temporary stop but the screen on stand A was saying the X12 will leave from stand D during this time.

Does this mean they're fixing the knackered door?
The X12 is timetabled to leave just a minute before the ANE 24, so good luck with it trying to get onto stand D. There's already 8 buses an hour leaving from that stand!

And i bet the 43 still spent 10 minutes at a time hogging stand D.

Layover was full up of Prince Bishops Streetlites and an IndiGo Solo. A bit strange really, given that it was alleged that GNE don't use the rear layover bays...

Work to start on North Road in October, and set to last for four months.
Further details about the bus station due next week.

I wonder if the architects ever spent a busy hour in the current one. Or if they even use public transport, ever.

Same with the two lane into one filter just before the footbridge, and of course buses from under the viaduct needing to get across three lanes of traffic.
That whole entry area into the bus station should be one big box junction really.
