Need to start doing the numbers on this
2000 supposed strikers but reality is 15-20% will work and screw the consequences as they self employed and need the cash.
3-400 military drivers provided with escort if required so no traffic hold ups.
Now on a "normal" basis there are never 2000 drivers every week as taking holidays, sickness, training etc etc then you lose 20% on average depending on time of year.
Add in limited hours that drivers work, Govt will overlook during an emergency, then reality is that is by expanding the hours drivers allowed to work, police escorts if required and get in deliver and leave to next then in short term the pumps could remain in use.
Of course if you consider somewhere like Carlisle where say 15 fuel stations in the town but on a normal basis 3-4 tankers required from different companies to fill the tanks, now you do it with 2 where they fill everybody up.
The key thing that always worries Govt is public panic, if everybody figures they can fill up when they require and everybody is getting resupplied then there is no panic buying.
Also add in that Joe Public may be told to leave the car at home which many will do and you can probably reduce fuel purchases by 10% over course of a week.
Its all possible, tight but possible and requires a lot of luck all going your way.
I have a sneeking feeling that Govt want this to happen and win it because it makes Brokeback Dave look tough.
