Even if money is no object there is a limit to what they can do. Trust me, I've had to transfer my bag from one portion to the other at Edinburgh when bridge scour cut off my destination and the promised coaches failed to materialise (what did they expect at 3am?)
If the money is right there will be an operator who will make it work. We’re in a cost of living crisis and there are people who will work at short notice if offered the right incentive. It might take a while for the coach to get there but it will appear.
If bus operators are asked to cover a run for no profit or less than the cost of doing the job even, that’s when the struggle to find anybody at all will start. This is especially the case if it’s a long distance run at an average of 55mph, in some parts of the UK it’s a guaranteed loss maker to cover the work.
