School runs, tours and private hire. Fill seats that cost £280,000 a coach.

Coaches are bought for the price of a house and then have to be kept moving: school contracts in the morning, private hire in the afternoon and tours through the summer. A PSV operator licence needs financial standing proved to the traffic commissioner for every vehicle, and drivers need a CPC and, for school work, a DBS check. Winter is the danger, because the finance payments carry on long after the last day trip to the coast.
