RE: Hulleys of Baslow
They can drive for 5hr 30min so even a 4hr route is far within any driving rules. But I would think they would change drivers but not buses as there no need for any driver to run the full route if they swap at Manchester airport after starting at Ashbourne or Sheffield. I would think they need to pool car to get 2 drivers to mid route at start and end of each day. On rail replacement I have routes that are over 3.5hrs but the same bus and driver does the full route but the route has planned breaks of 5 mins 3 times along the route with the driver having time to go for a smoke or toilet . So on paper they are on 3 trips by doing this the bus also keeps to time. The X1 and X57 will not be stop start runs like say the 192 they are fast runs. Stagecoach ran the X5 for years from Bedford depot with the route running from Oxford to Cambridge on GB regs.
