Best thing that could ever happen in this city, should have happened years ago.
Two big companies city/central, comcab would have this city in thier pockets.

ross comcab has the city, nae the world(of transport at least ) in its pockets.
2nd biggest
but of course im sure thier no match for moira from city cabs accounts department when she teams up with morag from centrals marketing department :lol:



It takes City and CRT a committee meeting to change the colour of the toilet roll. ComCab make a business decision in a heart beat. It's about shareholders and profits and nothing else. CRT an City is a bowling club more than a business. :roll:

Yes I do, comcab are not covering their work so they are leaking contract customers.
You cannot lose a million pound a year contract to your opposition. No matter how big a company you are. I am suprised no one has been sacked for it.

CRT and City Cabs have lost major contracts on a regular basis over the years. City Cabs: Social work and the Bank of Scotland CRT lost god knows how many hotels. Nothing new there :roll:
