Not going to happen...
£500 per driver isn't completely unachievable if you think about it:
Take one decker to Newcastle, for example, if 70 people board, all buying Three Zone Day Tickets, that would be £490.
Obviously that is a bit unrealistic in one run, but drivers won't just be doing the one run to Newcastle.
