I know that the signal would be a bit poor in some places but, it would help improve reliability massively. For instance, 2x 308s were chasing each other in Whitley Bay and if radios were fitted, one could be advised to ditch the passengers onto the following service with the late one running empty to make up lost time.

That's a good idea, it's rather unprofessional for drivers and supervisors to be seen on their mobile phones all the time, and the downside of mobiles is, that everything has to be done at either a bus station or when a bus breaks down.
