There is no way that Stagecaoch and arriva would allow them to move to the other side of the Bus Station as this is the direction that most of there bus services will be leaving the bus station and im sure they would cause ructions if told to move across to where NX use at the moment .

1. I realise that, but adding extra stops to the route will just add extra time to the routes and therefore an extra cost. Extra time and extra mileage will also cause more possible delays to the services.

2. Is that really true as Stand/Bay 6 is seldom used by any service bus, so much so that this is the stand now used by Megabus, albeit they only have a couple of departures per day? There is also no reason as to why stagecoach/arriva couldn'y use the other side of the bus station to load and then turn around before going straight up Hanover Street as most if not all buses already do that before loading.
