I am only going off personal experience from running late. Take Friday as an example, a very unreliable 1310 kept overheating leading to me running between 10-15 minutes late at certain times, but by the other 64 behind me helping, I managed to get it back on time fairly quickly by using up standing time at each terminus. If a service doesn't have much stand at either end then sending them dead is sometimes necessary but most of the time a bit of tactful driving is all you need.
