I believe all LU stations have to be manned during the hours of service
operation, so the solitary staff members cannot be removed, even if they
(and by proxy the union) agreed to undertake a different sort of work -
which is unlikely. A shame, because your suggestion is a good one.

PS Does this remind anyone of bendy buses?

Ah yes, the 'free' buses which are responsible for our bus fares and council
tax going up!
