Can a Hackney carriage work for private operator!

Yes.

They can also work for a mass murderer.

In short hackneys play no part in any written operator statutes.

Hackney carriages can't operate with two meters!

A small number of councils don't insist on their licensed taxis having meters, so I suspect, if they wanted, the taxis could have dozens of the things.
