But it's not a local bus service. It's an emergency bustitution.

So therefore it can't use the local bus stops.

But neither is it prohibited. Unless the bit of road in question has a
sign saying "No Stopping - except local buses", which they don't.

You seem to have some difficulty in comprehension. The prohibition in
stopping at unofficial bus stops is nothing to with Road Traffic signs or
law, but everything to with the licence issued by the Traffic Commissioners
(or not issued, as the case may be.)

A bus that is on a Lo-cal Bus Ser-vice can stop at a Bus Stop, In fact it
must do so if a man on the bus wants it to, to get off. Or if a man wants to
get on the bus.

A bus that is on Rail Work must stop at the place that is on the Con-tract,
and must not stop at any oth-er place to set down or pick up.

Now I appreciate that three of those words run into two sysllables, but I
have hyphenated them for you to make it easier for you to understand. The
rest are monosyllabylic and so should not present you with too much of a
problem.
