So basically this is all about Uber relaxing its 'geofencing' policy slightly?

But which maybe underlines that geofencing was little more than a PR gimmick to start with. I mean, is geofencing of any real practical relevance if a driver can work in Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Stoke or Nottingham on the same plate?

And all on a plate issued by the likes of Sefton, Rossendale or Solihull councils?

Indeed.
