would it be fair to say York Stn taxis are not operating legally, re station permits, some drivers are paying 25 quid weekly, others monthly, others quarterly, also alleged with a bit extra to cover collecting costs

surely this is a credit transaction, and need a licence
when GNER issued permits they couldn't give credit cos they didn't have a consumer credit licence, you payed it all up front

Maybe the credit crunch helped the price go down to the value that the new owners considered right.

I would have thought well run cab/PH firms are recession proof. :-s
