Of course if booking on points were at the end of line termini like on
most sensible systems it wouldn't be an issue. I'm sure there is someone

The clue may still be in the term *relief* driver.

Perhaps the original driver had been taken ill mid-shift? Or otherwise
relieved of his duty for safety/disciplinary reasons?
