Planning a tour as one operation
A five-city week is not five bookings. Driving times between Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham behave differently at 07:00 and 16:00, and a schedule that ignores this will fail on day two rather than day one. The whole route is laid out first, then the individual days are built inside it.
Where the distance and the timing make road travel the wrong answer, that is said. A leg to Edinburgh may be better flown with a chauffeur meeting the flight at both ends, and the tour plan will show it that way rather than defending a nine-hour drive.
