Hi
Do I need to have a station pass or permit to work on the station? a driver down here who recently picked up 5 jobs or 6 maybe does not have a station pass? is he breaking any bye-laws by doing this or is he working without insurance as he would appear to be hiring illegally? whilst I admit that the situation is less than clearly marked out and works currently underway to the ticketing office don't help, whether you have a pass or not is quite clear, isn't it?

No confusion there then

Didn't know Nottingham Private Hire vehicles required a station pass!

I would guess that if a station requires a taxi to have a permit to pick up from a private station "rank" then it would be up to the permit issuer to take action. If the person picking up passengers is driving a hack that is licensed by the same borough as the station is in then what he is doing isn't "illegal" in that I doubt that the police can prosecute.

Rumours? Often a mixture of truth and untruth, according to my dictionary.

Truth I believe from the horses mouth, why else would someone who previously always had a station pass/ permit not be allowed on the station now? 4 years without paying apparently?

If you do then get one.

Few confused drivers on the station today.

Been told where the front of their rank is, and about time too!

Six hundred for a pass next year? Looks a bit tight for space.

Think I'll pass!
