Wherever these deckers are being sourced from, would be from a depot with an existing vehicle shortage...
Might be Buses, with a certain short baldy fella from Haymarket creating duff gen.
For Today, why didn't Arriva just pay an extra driver or 2 to come in and run the 306 with a 23 minute layover at Haymarket instead of interworking it with the 308? Surely by the time fuel and wages were taken into consideration, it wouldn't cost much more than paying for all the overtime needed plus any other expenses acquired.
And not just mentioning Arriva as the same goes for GNE and the 310 too.

(30 Aug 2016, 11:07 am)GX03 SVC It wouldn't need a driver or 2, it'd need about 4/5 drivers. Delays were minimal today, with all buses running about 20 minutes late due to the Sunday timetable and passenger loadings.
All interworking services were having delays including the 35/X21, where I was tracking a 35 running 25 minutes late due to the passenger loadings on the X21.

However, instead theyve tendered for nexus work and placed at least 4 deckers on the 900. Seems like commercial interest has gone over sensible planning for a major event and the loser is Joe public
