More relevant than if you can use a normal fuel station and where to park overnight are how to obtain an operator's licence and meet the requirements. These include confirmation of financial standing (currently you are required to have at least £6650 readily available if you operate just one vehicle) and this is after meeting all set-up costs, you cannot use this sum to buy a bus, the TC can ask for evidence that you have this sum at any time and failure to produce can lead to loss of licence; satisfactory arrangements for the maintenance of the vehicle on a regular basis; you must have a transport manager holding a CPC who is responsible for the operation.

If you have the finance and are serious in this, the first step would be to enrol on a CPC course before you start enquiring if you can refuel in Tesco, otherwise go inside and ask about stacking shelves.

I'm very much inclined to agree with you but I had no idea that Sir Alan Sugar posted on this site. I would have suggested that Blacon Buses kept to building up his model collection. Talk about being brutally honest.
