Surely it's better to take it out and drop it back in at a point in the timetable where it'll be back on time? Lets face it, anyone waiting that long will have given up on that bus a long time ago!
My reasoning behind carrying on was the fact I had 17 min layover in Middlesbrough (in 1643, out 1700) - had there been no traffic I would have got in more or less 12-15 late to go straight back out. As it was I got done over on the way and left 21 late on the 1700.
Caught the 1625 one up in Guisborough (the 1640 5a didn't run as far as I could tell?!) and we both ran upto Easington together (him via Skinningrove and me via Liverton). I got to Easington at 1829 more or less on time, sent the other one back light and I ended up covering both villages on the way back...
