But Blyth doesn't do that...
If, let's say, a 308 doesn't come in on-time, they'll put one of their spare corporate liveried double deckers out to make sure it departs on time. When the 308 comes in, they'll take the Hybrid off and put it in the depot.
The next X4 hasn't come in on-time, so the Hybrid is taken straight back out and put on the X4. The "Quorum Express" branded Gemini then does the same as above.
That just can't happen with branded vehicles. In my opinion, some brands need to be chopped to give the depot extra leniency, or Blyth can't keep hold of this top spot. It's certainly something which needs management intervention, and should have done long before now.
