I would like to raise three points related to our school's European tour with Fastrek.
Firstly, I would like to comment on your article on Coach Captains. I believe that Swinards realise how important a competent captain can be and they reward him for his efforts. Our courier was everything from a part-time doctor to the man who told the chef to cook our meat well. Perhaps Swinards' idea of upgrading coach drivers will ensure that all couriers have the same responsible attitude.
Secondly, I have just read with interest the article on Vehicle Conversions Specially For You. The paragraph on Italian mobile shops was especially interesting because one of these vehicles is sited in St Peter's Basilica as a post office.
Thirdly, at Camping Tiber, just outside Rome, where we stayed, a London double-decker was parked. This was in very good condition and I think it was perhaps used as a mobile mechanics' workshop.
If any fellow readers have any maintenance manuals on hgv/psv vehicles and brochures on the use and operation of tachographs to spare I should be very grateful if they would please forward them to me.
