Well yeah as under GB domestic rules, drivers can drive a bus for up to 5 and a half hours.
But would time spent driving a float van not also count towards that? It's not so much the timings of the 309 that are the problem (barring Sundays & BH's) but what if for example come near Xmas and there is heavy congestion on Norham Rd with people trying to flock to Tesco to do their Xmas shopping? (I've seen it with my own eyes).
Can kind of understand 5hrs on Arriva's 308 as the drivers can walk out the cab and be back in base within a minute.
