This unfortunately is the only way to guarantee timing compliance. Unlike trains, the regulations prohibit sticking a load of extra time at the end of the route, so it has to be spread out. As others have alluded, traffic is getting more and more unpredictable, so these kind of journeys aren't gonna go away especially on longer routes.

The sooner stagecoach introduce mobile bus tracking the better. Firsts version may not be without its flaws but it's a damn site better than being in the dark, mid route on an infrequent longer service.
