Talent transport and hotel costs will be a drop in the ocean compared to the money saved from having one crew do Breakfast and the One. Everyone always seems to forget that the most costly part of TV production is normally the wages of the people making it.

Asking staff to knock off at 2pm instead of 10am is a big ask though - and the sort of thing that might lead to industrial action if it's just taken for granted that they'll just do the One.   It's not like the crew currently hang around an extra 5 hours just in case the One comes from Salford.
