Also do the drivers only have 30 minutes for a break for doing another round trip on the 23 as the 23 is not the most reliable service in the world and if you journey gets badly delayed but the next journey is fine but then has to leave Park Lane late because a previous journey had a problem.

Here is a photo of 2811 on the 23 today

The way most of the duties work is that you come off one bus and get on the one behind, giving you exactly 30 minutes late - which can cause quite a problem at times.
