There's no space outside. Have a look on Google Maps!

Just gave it the earth treatment, that looks like a public car park and the road leading to the station looks public, so I would refuse to pay

Can trading standards trump the high court case?

what high court case covers this subject and dont forget york station is now back in the public ownership it is run by eastcoast.co.uk who in turn have given the franchise to station taxis if station taxis were a stand alone company it would fold tomorrow because non of the drivers want the radio in they just want to go in the station

the land owner is the one that ultimately decides who trades on their land.

250 cabs pay approximately 450pounds each.they can only pick up 1 at a time which means the last cab can take 10,15 mins to get to the front when there's a queue on,it's a long wait when there's no queue.the permits are being traded for 6K coming down from 10K recently.On Sunday eve I pick up the punters who got impatient and walked to the bus station,they see me and get in.I pay nothing but admittedly I don't work many hours

We've got two stations the total to rank up is £00.00. Mind you there's nothing comes off the trains as it's only a branch line.
