One colour fleets seem fine in principle but can you have any shade of silver or does it have to be a specific shade? I Derby the taxis had to be a specific shade of yellow now how many car producers would have that colour?

I would guess any manufactor's version of silver should do.

But we have had rucks with councils not liking a particular version of black.

I agree with all taxis in there respective area being 1 colour, as long as there is room for maneuver in the shade of colour and the vehicle can be bought from a dealership in that shade without the need of a re-spray and if it is implemented only at the change of vehicle time, and not suddenly imposed like York has done

Not to sure about this one. It will limit choice in regard to buying a second hand motor, as well as selling yours on to another driver if it's not the right colour.

How will it Gus, you can get a silver car, taxi from anywhere now, and all it has to have is silver on the log book.

Private hire cars - those that can only be booked to pick you up - will have to be any colour other than silver and will also have the logo.

So you have spend a fortune on a WAV (not silver) and want a new one. You can't sell it locally as the colour is wrong, dealer won't take it as a trade in for the same reason. Private buyers are very wary of ex taxis. They wouldn't pay as much as a cabby would for it. This is a bad idea. Uniform taxi signs is a much better way to go.

That would work as well Guss but what if someone is looking at the top sign trying to find gus cabs
on a serious note yes it would work as long as the word TAXI is at the front and rear and every sign was the same size, phone numbers only on taxi cards inside the vehicle
