It could. "Within any period of 8 hours 30 minutes, you must take at least 45 minutes in breaks. You must also have a break of at least 30 minutes at the end of this period, unless it’s the end of the working day." (https://www.gov.uk/drivers-hours/gb-domestic-rules)

By running it the way they are, they're only requiring two drivers and two buses for the whole day while being able to run in front of Arriva's 329. If they filled the stand time doing something else, they'd require further resources. Also, they can more-or-less guarantee that they'll be running on time.
