So is the extra driver on the bus all day? Sounds an expensive way to run the service, if 2 drivers are needed to cover the service all day.
According to the timetable the bus has a layover in Ashington from 12:21pm for 39 mins, I guess that this is not long enough for a drivers meal break?
Do drivers get other breaks throughout a shift, other than any time tabled layover time between arrival and departures?
