I cant see it paying in most instances...its the type of routes the bus companies wouldnt want to touch, it wouldnt be easy making money from an untested route and if you take it on you then have to honour it for 56 days after you cancel it.
Its not cherry picking as your only at your designated stops at the designated times...still, if theres a scheme theres a scam..who knows!
You can claim the fuel duty back.
and whats that worth in the £?
More than you get for not doing it

ok....are we talking a few pence in savings...or are we talking all fuel duty and then buying fuel at a 1/4 of its overly Taxed price?
Im guessing theses busses that run around here empty for the most part must be making their money somewhere, Id find it difficult to believe that the money they make is purely from Passenger fares as they dont have to many passengers onboard, be interesting to find out just how it works?
The information is all available. I have been looking into it a little and basically if you have say a school run to a school say around 20 miles away, you can't claim the duty back for that journey. However if you register the return journey, which you would be comming back empty, this journey then qualifies for the rebate. Now because you have registered this journey you can now claim the duty for the school run because this would be the dead miles getting to your registered route.
And you might never pick up a customer...money for old rope, thats IF you have a run like that...
