And even so the population is weighted towards the South East.

Interesting calculations on your travel time , did you calculate on Car or Coach , remember coaches should not go faster then 60 miles per hour, also coach drivers need 45 minutes break every 4hr 30min driving time and that is calculated from when he picks the coach up not when he picks up the team. So if his garage is 45 minutes from the pick up point then that has to be factored in. You are also assuming that everyone is at one pick up point every additional on can add a further 5-10 minutes to the journey time. You can split his rest break into 15 min and 30 min the first being whilst he is waiting at the club to pick up the team and a further 30 minutes during the journey time. I would also suggest that the journey times you quote do not include any time for hold ups which are very common on the motorways these days. getting through Birmingham on the M6/M5 or M40 can be a nightmare so journey times can increase dramatically. You also have to take into account the additional cost of long journeys as drivers total hours cannot exceed 11 hours on a daily basis which may require two drivers. this is usually for journeys over 230 miles. Remember all drivers hours are shown on his Tachograph.
