doubledecker bus buisnes

[Bev.v.w]

I am looking to start a business that involves the use of a double decker bus... does anyone know where this bus could be stored when not in use in the uk. Newcastle?

You can store your bus anywhere you like in the UK - as long as you have adequate storage facilities.

hi thanks for your reply. I live on a really small street and would struggle to store it at my home. I would be concerned if I parked it somewhere else that it could be broken into.. are there any rental places or companies that store this for you?

You are only now at the beginning of finding out some of the hidden costs of keeping your own pet double-decker bus. By the time you have insured it, taxed it, repaired it (again and again!) and MOT'ed the thing, you are going to be many thousands out of pocket. Then there is the fun and joy of its 3mpg habit.

It's a bit like having your own steam engine or vintage wooden paddle steamer. They make you gloriously happy for precisely and only two days - the day you buy it and the day you get rid of the damn thing!

For a price I am sure there are - whether that would be prohibitive in terms of the cost to your business is another matter.

You would need to do some research and find out costs about local places that have storage high enough to store a vehicle of that height (assuming a double decker).

You could ask Go North East if they have space

Local farms or proper vehicle compounds (ask local motor dealers Shere their off site storage is)

Google for caravan storage facilities.

Or else just drive in to the Newcastle Bus Station and park it there. They might not notice!

It's quite possible that your local bus garage would store it for you...at a cost.
Will also be convenient for any servicing and any repairs needed.

Sell the house, live in the bus. Win-win all round.
