Which Station are you on about?? Nearly all the Stations are now permit, you'll find the majority of these are run by a shell company called Cab Find. IMO use them at you peril.

If it's on private land they need the landowner and council's permission. If not just the council.

Only taxis can rank if the rank is in full view of the public road, if not the other lot can work via a booking office.

What exactly are you looking for?

Yes, you drive onto them, wait 5 / 10 / 20 / 30 minutes, and pick up a fare.

Simple really. :wink:
