WBT have around 80 vehicles whereas Fairbrothers have around ten.

WBT have all of the garage staff and office staff to pay whereas Fairbrothers have two Fitters and no office staff to pay.

Therefore WBT need to be more expensive to pay its overheads....

Your argument is flawed.
Regardless of how many buses the company owns, how many fitters they employ or the times they operate too/from the passenger is paying for exactly the same product. To get from A to B as you put it.

If it's a case of back room overheads perhaps they should look at cutting costs instead of hitting passengers pockets so hard, and how do Rossendale and Halton manage to charge so much less when they are faced with similar 'overheads'.

If anything Fairbrothers probably are probably hit harder with things like fuel and insurance costs.

As for GHA loadings, they might be low but I'm sure they will be busier next week
