Though to be honest a lot of school services at the moment are restricted to school pupils only, it's not as if they are likely to pick up passengers when it's heading away from the school.Be amazed how often this happens especially on last runs of the day and scholars, I've even seen GNE not run to the end of scholars routes before.
Independents are often more prone to doing so as drivers are less likely to get into bother for it whereas if this occurred at the likes of Arriva or GNE the driver would be in hot water.
Considering the routes of the 592/593 its most likely a case of just picking at Doxford in the evening and setting down wherever so less incentive to do full journeys if passengers don't wish to go that far as it's not likely to pick anybody up elsewhere along the route (I am in no way excusing it, just stating that as a likely suggestion for this occurring).
