Some PCV drivers are doing it off their own back rather than via agencies, and have been asking for £30/hr (or more!)
I think Stagecoach are down to very small numbers now but Arriva are still using plenty of them.

Plus, if what I'm remembering from Business Management at college is correct, the agencies also charge a hefty 'finders' fee on top of the extortionate rates you end up paying to the agency staff.
