This one is easy. You say you will be working private hire, so you can only do pre booked work. You can't sit on any rank, you can't pick up off the street. You can only do work that has been pre booked through your operator at their booking office.



Yeah i understand that and cheers for replying but i see many taxis seem to be sitting all around the area and i have been keeping my eye out on the rank for a while now and it would seem there are never alot if any at all sitting in a Q which has me wondering why

which area will you be working in North lanarkshire south area (white plate), central area (red plates), or north area (yellow plate)?

Might be worthwhile getting your PVG and then looking to get yourself a contract ( School Transport etc. ), Good luck anyway. :idea:

Hi,

I'm in a similar position, and in NLC - how did it work out?

Also I already have a PVG - how would I get work by having it?
