If not how do you work it out? Timings, overlay times, driver changes?

Help is appreciated

No list but as a general rule for single routes without interworking in one direction

Every 60 Minutes
Every 60 Minutes of Journey Time = 1 PVR

Every 30 Minutes
Every 30 Minutes of Journey Time = 1 PVR

Every 20 Minutes
Every 20 Minutes of Journey Time = 1 PVR

Every 15 Minutes
Every 15 Minutes... and so on probably get the gist now.

So for example the 2 at Blyth takes 58 minutes to do a run in one direction and 55 in the other which is 113 minutes, throw in 10 minutes layover to be safe (5 minutes each run) = 123 minutes. 123 minutes / 30 = 4.1 = PVR 4 (Rounded to account for layover)

Or for the 58 which one direction is 51 minutes, the other is 48 minutes which is 99 minutes, add your 10 minute layover = 109 minutes, 109 / 15 = 7.26 (PVR 7)

Interworking is a bit more complicated but say for the X7/X8/X9 you can just add them altogether

ie X7 is 63 minutes, X8, 63 minutes, X9 67 minutes = 190 minutes throw some layover in between them say 5 minutes each, 210 minutes then double it (2 directions) 420 minutes / 30 = 14 = PVR 14

Short and long routes like the X1 and  stuff like the 10/10A/10B with different frequencies are more complicated but it's easier to just split it up into chunks.
