RE: Blacon Buses
Its good to have Dreams.

I dont think they meant drivers CPC... They meant managers CPC so you could hold your own O License instead of paying someone else to do it... Another Overhead out of the way.

Of course you can Fuel a bus in a petrol Station.. Initially it would be ideal but later it would be more beneficial to buy it in Bulk as the savings do add up. Tanks etc arent overly expensive. Remember youd be claiming the VAT back on the Fuel anyway.

How many buses are you talking? What happens when it needs a tyre out on its route ? Reliable back up plan? Tyre on a rim ready to go? Spare bus? Driver avalable to take one out? What happens when it or one goes goes bang with an Gearbox or Engine ? Recovery wont be pocket money sums Who will do the Inspections? You'll need a proper maintenace plan in place and have to stick to it.

What happens when a driver fails? Dissapears from the face of th earth or wants their holidays? Spare Driver? Drivers work rest days?

Lets just go off 60lites a day Fuel use. Thats £60 after youve had the Vat back. Then your £90 drivers wage. £150 a day before you start. Parking Maintenance inc Oil Water Bulbs your man with the O license Fees etc all to go on top... then its a really bad day and your inside rear tyre blows and takes the outside rear with it. Theres another £400 plus.

You'll need to be having standing loads to the Ice Cream factory I think.

Dont be buying any Calculators from Auctions in Wrexham either for you calculations... They give wrong numbers.
