They go via the baths so they can enter the bus station and go straight onto stand rather than having to do a loop of the station. When the 168/169 used the old stand outside the travel shop they would always enter via Wellington road now they tend to enter via the baths but as Andrew has pointed out, due to the poorly timed TFGM cycle priority traffic lights outside the baths it's a lot quicker to enter the other way, do a loop of the stands, get into stand, have a quick fag and load and still do it all before the lights change to green
