You mean welcome only if they jockey or buy a plate.

If you sell a cab business then you have to be careful to distinguish goodwill from the plate premium.

Plates are all worth the same (although the market can change so they may change hands for different values) and the premium has nothing to do with goodwill.

Say plates in an area are worth £20k, and a guy runs half a dozen taxis, which work the streets. If he sells them he will get £120k (plus the value of the cars)

Another guy runs a busy cab office with six taxis. If he sells them he will get £120k plus more for the work his office attracts. So he may get £150k for them, so the goodwill is £30k (again ignoring the cars).

But in most cases the cars are either working the streets or are paying office rents, in which case goodwill is irrelevant, and if the vehicle is sold at a premium then it's all for the plate.

I thought the reason it was quiet on here was that you Trafford lads had left the country.

The reason it is very quiet is because you sent us all to sleep with your constant boooooooooooooooooring insinuations

God there positively apathetic in Trafford, or should that be pathetic . Whats up dont they have testicles in Trafford , you all arrived here for some reason . Why i dont know . I was hopeing one of you would give would give me, a explanation , as to why the feudalism of limiting Taxi numbers, was so wonderfull . It seem you are to busy in bed with the captain and the lord , to say any thing of interest .streetcar .

I do understand your point, and do slightly agree with you. However the law is the law, and only those that apply can receive. Unless they want to rot on a waiting list.

But from my experience when one of the bigger boys applies for plates this forces councillors to actually look into the whole quota issue. And more times than not, in a few years time, they de-limit.

Wirral, Dundee and Chemlsford to name but three.
