Thanks for all of the support so far guys, I'm delighted with the interest so far, looking really positive at the moment. I'm quite hopeful that we can get this coach up and running.
I'm currently working on getting a price for the coach. I also know a coach driver who is a top man, he'll pick up from anywhere (within reason!), but as previously stated, it will be best to keep the detours as limited as possible. Just need to persuade him to take up the job now!
The car sharing idea is also a good one, should be a decent way of getting more people interested.
With regards to the lads in Leeds, I don't think it will be too much of a problem to arrange a pick up point for you.
