Blacon Buses

RE: Blacon Buses
To answer some questions.
NorthernCounties & MotorMayhem: Thank you for your help. I thought it was possible but I wanted to check.
Enrag2000: I cant do a CPC course as I cant drive buses. I would be paying someone to drive and preferably I would have someone with a CPC certificate.
Barney: My model collection is big enough. I would like to own a bus company as there are so many viable routes in the area which the majors do not want because they do not make them enough profit.
Mayneway: I have tried to work in the industry but most wont take me because of my autism. Arriva have no wales based schedulers (all in Aintree), Stagecoach have no jobs, Aintree/Helms wont reply. Jones Coaches have no vacancies. I did say I would volunteer but still no. My idea is not to serve city centres or the major areas. I would like to keep more out of town shopping centres to residential areas. Getting people to jobs and shops. The majors dont want the routes I am thinking of because they dont make x amount of profit. With me, as long as I can make a small amount of profit, that suits me. Maintenance and staff would be put in costs therefore profit would be what is left after paying everyone (I know quite a few people dont know what profit is and say I have to pay for maintenance out of profit).
Chester285: As I said, I am looking for more out of town routes and on a Sunday, I plan to do like small routes to local attractions like Greenacres or Ice Cream Farm. Stagecoach doesnt have the buses and they wouldnt take it because of the type of route. Arriva have 4 spare buses in Chester per day but again, they wouldnt make a high amount of profit for them. Stagecoach arent going to run CoCH - Bumpers Lane via Blacon in a million years. Arr and SC say it is unviable. I will make it viable by keeping costs lower. I would wash buses myself. No fuel in the depot to save any problems that would cause. As cheap depot as possible and buses would be second hand. Arr drivers are on £130 per day. I would like to pay drivers around £90 if I can. That would be over an 8 hour shift or so. All drivers would be local as well.
