oh i have, however you still havent listed your achievments sum total nil,on the other hand your negotiating skills have in effect cost in excess of 1,000,000 because as the licenscing officer told you what ever we do is able to withstand legal challenge you believd him yet chose to ignore one of your own members, who was right ? oh tom brown i do believe .

i was not out of work i was in fact employed on plate 25 which i had had enough of so was going to jack the job and as you rightly recall it was a cheap rent however as the owner was in the hospital at xmas and his wife had no income as i thought at the time i gave the extra 20 as a goodwill gesture and to help her out !!! which i would have thought was an act of kindness rather than stupidity. but it just shows the measure of the man you have become to think that !!!

the reason i asked is that there used to be an alternative rank outside the station


That would be the rank that was there when my mother cleaned the station, the one anyone could use without resorting to paying extortionate fees for something that should be free

Please explain how you work that out, and whilst you are doing that, explain your principals re, not working the station, did I imagine it or did you not go in there all the time you worked for Flinty, as I said selective amnesia,

You are of course correct. The council laws are Mickey Mouse compared to rail land. The most obvious choice would be that the local council should make a rank outside the station themselves or purchase the land off the rail company whichever is the cheapest. The real problem is the greedy drivers who HIRE the rank off the rail company and give themselves an edge over other HC's. If the owners/drivers didn't pay the rent the council would be forced to act as it would become a health and safety parking issue. They would have to do a risk assessment and be forced to act. If the rank was empty the rail company may well welcome the idea of a purchase by the council. It did seem to work in Chester by just moving the rank onto council land. It would probably be cheaper to buy the rank, rather than create one from scratch.

It will never work as the village idiot has all the driver under his control, he paid a stupid fortune to national express for the right to rip off the drivers and even had the cheek to increase there fees, and instead of telling him where to get off they where like lambs to the slaughter
There is several post regarding this on here somewhere

you are correct i did work on the station i believe that was 5 years ago then when icame back afterwards as well i then asked the owner of the plate not to purchase the permit as it was extortionate, i do believe when you were able to hold court (no ones interested in you now) your words were i will never pay that!! you did anyway with regards the 20 quid the owners wife left the job 12 months ago at the time i still felt it was a kind gesture, as i didnt know what job she had or had not, you still havent listed your achievements of the y t p a under your leadership also i saw on your earlier tome that you never informed me as i wasn't a member thats funny that because you never informed your membership either!!! ai told you once that a commitee is supposed to speak to the relevant authorites and then report to its membership NOT MAKE THE DECISCIONS FOR THEM

You finally admitted it, there was a committee,another 8 besides me, so why am I getting all the blame for everything that goes wrong, I suppose it's also my fault that despite a halcrow report saying there is no unmet demand they are going to release the further 8 plates over the next two years.

IMO that wasn't a feeder rank it was a council adopted rank that any York taxi could ply on.
The Truth wrote:
however after refurbishing the front of the station they removed said rank and it was not fought to be replaced by the "trade representatives (represented there own interests)

Was the rank ever formally killed off, or, more likely, was a temporary traffic order used, which should now have run it's course? If a TTRO was used, then ask your council when the rank will be replaced, not if.

at the time "of the decision makers at the time before they start whinging one is now the leader of the council !! another is an nvq assessor make of that what you will !! never once did they fight for the benefit of the trade and as they both read this why not list your achievments for everyone to see !!! the tumbleweeds are running across your empty spaces!! i would also like to point out that i have no "hump" about having to pay, as i rent a plate and the owner of the plate would have paid for a permit but i asked him not to do so as it would go against my principals,if i cant go out and find a living in a city as big as york !! i shouldn't be doing the job and certainly not paying twice (plate rent) for the privilige of doing so one final point i have to laugh at the so called represantative of station taxis!! he likes to see his name in the paper heres a question for him and all the multiple plate owners who have been telling everyone about the credit crunch have you dropped your rental prices and the rents for drivers ?

Not a fan then? :D

I was not the leader I was the secretary, you still haven't explained how I have cost the trade 1,000,000, there are a lot of things you have not explained as I said earlier selective amnesia.

because under your secratalrialship you wouldnt fight the colour black hence 130+new vehicles as for selective amnesia have you listed all the achievments you will only need a stamp and if you put your name and address on it that will be about enough space left anyway enough you have had more attention than i wish to give to you the more important issue is wether or not the rank can be reinstated i would have thought that you would have been of assistance on this captain or yourself jd i spoke to a fellow from birmingham a while back and he was really helpful in telling me some of the acts available, however bieng the halfwit that i am i cant find his number

Southport is part of Sefton.... it has a station rank... which only permit holders can use... but it is designated as a Official Sefton rank. as an official rank it allows the licensing officers a certain amount of authority.. but that is all.
There is a number of ways you could look at this, one is that the station is being serviced by Hackney's and not by a private hire company, two , that while the station drivers are sitting on the station rank, it leaves the other ranks with a lot less drivers working them.
