A warm bus which has been out in service all day, and you’re going to tell folk to get off that and onto a cold bus which has been on an early return back to the depot? That doesn’t offer a very good customer experience.
Scheduling it so that there is no disruption to customers, I don’t see an issue with. Your plan, which you have mentioned several times, would result in disruption to customers AND extra resource being added which is not scheduled.

GNE used to do it years back at Percy Main with Lolynes being swapped for VDL Cadets on the Coaster at Percy Main and later on before they got withdrawn, Dennis Lance Wright Pathfinders being swapped with NTL MPD's at Verne Road.
