Surely by the time fuel and wages were taken into consideration, it wouldn't cost much more than paying for all the overtime needed plus any other expenses acquired.
And not just mentioning Arriva as the same goes for GNE and the 310 too.
It wouldn't need a driver or 2, it'd need about 4/5 drivers. Delays were minimal today, with all buses running about 20 minutes late due to the Sunday timetable and passenger loadings.
All interworking services were having delays including the 35/X21, where I was tracking a 35 running 25 minutes late due to the passenger loadings on the X21.
