Daytime Coach Parking vs O Licence

I'll spare you the details, but curious as to whether this is something that the regustered depot on the O licence applies to or not.

Company operate school services Mon-Fri for schools in a town about an hour away from their depot. They do the morning run, then park all the coaches together in a layby just outside the town the schools are in, and drive the drivers away together in a minibus. Process is reversed in the afternoon and they presumably spend the night at the depot. Buses spend 9-3 parked up.

I'm not impacted in the slightest by the parking, but I drive past them every day on the way to work and wondered whether the TC's rules apply to this sort of thing.

Coincidentally the company in question has just had its operating licence taken away by the TC. The usual story of shoddy unsafe buses used on school routes.
