Who said anything about extra drivers?
There's route management for a start.
Such as terminating the X93 Middlesbrough bound, at Guisborough and ensuring connections with the 5.
There's running shuttles between Whitby and Scarborough.
There's working in partnership with Transdev and/EYMS, for cross-service ticketing between Whitby/Pickering and Pickering/Scarborough.
Howay man Superman.

For the most part, it seemed for yesterday (Tuesday), they were typically diverting the X93 hourly between Whitby & Scarborough via Thornton-le-Dale, whilst the X94 was running hourly between Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay - for today (Wednesday), they seemingly ran the X93 and X94 half hourly combined between Whitby and Scarborough (given it wasn't possible to reach Robin Hoods Bay today). Naturally, given the delays and such, everything is all over the shop.
And it inevitably will be all over the shop. But there's ways and means, like you mentioned. Plus plenty of others.
