It's an EU regulation any route over 30 miles must have Tachos fitted & drivers driving no more than 8 hours a day, but the flaw were the bus company can avoid the regulations by splitting routes like Stagecoach X2/2X which count as separate registrations but same bus/driver operates the entire journey & passengers can buy through tickets & stay on the bus when the number changes.
