Unless something changed the whole article is just wrong.

Whether they could do a full days service is probably fair though, the 63 is quite a fast route so the buses will do a fair few miles in comparison to other routes which seem to have issues as it is in the winter especially at Riverside. 

Where on the route, is it fast? I can think of a tiny section at Wilton, where there's a section of dual carriageway. 
The 63 drops off and on, so doesn't get the chance to get up a head of speed at all.
Other than that, it's pretty urban aka 30mph tops. 

Unless there's somewhere I've completely missed.
