Perhaps I should have explained though; If buses stay on the same route (peaks apart) they will reappear at the duty relief point (in this case Ashton BS) at the same regular intervals. However, if buses interwork, they will re-appear at different times, and so drivers would be coming off for a mealbreak, or the end of their duty at different times. For instance, if the 219 should have 10 daytime workings, on an 8 minute service, then the bus will re-appear in Ashton every 80 minutes. At a guess, the 216 is 70 minutes round trip, so even though the difference is only 10 minutes, then it still affects all duties covering both services at any point between the peaks.

*clearly* not cheaply - bloody phone lol
