I'm hinking of organising a trip one Sunday between Southampton and
Bletchley Park museum complex, Milton Keynes. Not something I've done
before.
30 to 35 seater coach and driver for the day about

Not a chance. Because it's a coach, not a car, it accelerates slower
and is limited to 62MPH. In addition to that, you've got the 20-30
minutes it takes to get people on and off. Add another hour on.

Get all the money up front (strictly non-refundable unless insufficient
interest) and only book it when you have enough to cover all the costs or
.... let someone else do it as you will almost certainly be let down by
those who are certain they want to go and then don't stump up with the
cash.

If you do go ahead check and double check at each stop that you have
everyone on board!

Good luck, hope it goes ahead for you as it is a brilliant museum

Yes, thanks for that, I was not aware it was less than 70 mph limit.
