They're not just driving hours, they're working hours. So if the driver starts at 1225 s/he's got to be on a break by 1755 at the latest (and to be safe it's usually by 1725 in case they are late). Then the minimum break is 30 minutes. So no surprise really that there's an amount of light running early and later in the day, given the nature of GNE's operations.

Looking at the map, it's extending the depot from "Death Row" to the border of Handy Drive. Not a suprise the depot would be expanded though I would have more expected them to build a second yard on the opposite side to Mandela Drive.
(30 Oct 2018, 11:41 pm)idiot How can they divert the buses missing out so many stops when the routes are registered with vosa etc?Emergency usage I guess. There's some leeway built in to it I'd imagine, particularly for the more frequent services.
