Taxi Driver Online

Are they taxi or ph????
If they are ph how come they use the bus lanes, and and have top signs, seen loads of other ph without top signs

See me on the rank tomorrow and I will try and explain the local position to you.

I will buy you a coffee and I will have to go off and do a job now and then, but I will clarify things for you.



Scottish Borders licensed vehicle in Plymouth - anyone think it might be testing out the cross-border thing at a very long range?

ok its my turn to buy
i could be legal after midnight

Are you moaning that they have roof lights or that they don't?

As for the first bit, reminds me very much of home.

1. No, my treat for a visitor.

2. No, don't try plying in Plymouth.

3. I think you can use our bus lanes.

3(i) No, I won't pay your fines if you can't use our bus lanes after all.

See you when I do.

I asked the same question about the top signs, I think it's very confusing. I also think it's really silly that the PH can't use bus lanes, after all the buses are privately owned companies providing a service to the public It gets confusing for the PHD as well because we don't always know which areas allow us to use the bus lanes and which don't

Note to self: Just because it pops into my head does NOT mean it should come out of my mouth!!

its an old list but it gives you an idea.in 2007 plymouth allowed both in bus lanes?the first column is taxi second one is p/hire.tik means no bus lanes

London Yes, but a nice fatNO in the second column.

That reminds me, Dizzydestroyer, hows your 'buy a crappy £300 P reg astra and get access to the capitals Bus Lanes campaign' coming along?

Thats a few years ago that we were all informed access was certain.

Hurry up, I'll be retiring soon.

In Nottingham it is now WAV Taxi's only. There's interesting boyo.

If it still says taxis on the signage any taxi can use them, but not PH

That is correct, the bottom end of Mansfield Road in Nottingham and Upper and Lower Parliament Street both allow ANY Taxi into the zone via the bus lanes. I went throug them this morning.
