http://www.pcsairporttransfers.com/index.html Can anyone shed some light on this company. They are the new in-house Manchester Airport Taxi Company. I couldn't see any i.d. or plates on their vehicles. They even rank up outside T3 drop off point right next to the Black cabs. How cheeky is that! :roll: :roll: I know they have been mentioned before & the rumour mill had them with Berwick plates on :D

They are indeed PH from Berwick, and IMO their booking office is in breach of the 1976 act.

But as the Manchester trade are only concerned about one thing, i.e. plate numbers, I doubt anything will be done. [-(

Very interesting & thanks for that! I did notice they had no plates that's what caught my interest in the first place. We would presume then that they should have their PH plates on display or have they a sticker? [plate exception]. They should also have an office in Berwick to have their records stored. ???

I suspect their licensing council has allowed them to be exempt form displaying a plate, maybe a mini plate is in the inside of the motor.

But this will end in tears. :shock:

This is blatant lies. If you ring them up and ask to go from north wales to north wales total of 5 miles they would charge you £100 minimum fare. all BS
