Coach dimensions just seem to be getting longer and longer and also moving from double to tri-axles as well.

That is very true. On the continent, bus/coach stations are built with this is mind. For example, articulated inter-urban coaches are common-place throughout Spain and are easily accommodated in purpose-built coach stations. The fundamental problem is that, outside of London, bus and coach travel is seen as a poor man's option and there is a total lack of investment in infrastructure.
