i know some drivers go Out of Service on their own accord but I dont think some do unless control tells them.
I think its the Service Delivery team, also say an X1 there is a bus cancelled one before and one after towards Newcastle and it ends up getting into Eldon Square 15 mins late, and if the driver thinks oh ill run dead to Washington, there wont be bus for 45 mins.
I think you may have answered your own question there. If there’s a crash, they’ve got to deal with however many buses are affected by that crash. I wonder how many people work in there at any one time. Cannot be many!
Bus drivers shouldn’t need babysitting really, if they’re late, then that’s on them, barring traffic and obvious other issues, but GNE usually put that on their website for you to see.
