That´s part of the mess in Brighton station rank, isn´t it, Sussex? Two different authorities leading to utter chaos for years now.

Licensing in Lincoln claim they have no juridstiction over a taxi rank on the ststion here, because it is on private property. It is a public place though, isn't it? Are they correct? I think not. |

I think not. They have no control over the rank, only the licensed drivers and vehicles that use it. In the LC report, which some kind soul has e-mailed you, it gives what they view as the legal position. |

Bearing in mind that The Public Health Act 1925[?] made railway property a 'street' as per the Towm Clause 1847, surely a licensing officer can enforce on railway property? Ours can and they don't need an invitation from, or to inform the railway company to do so. |

Depends what is meant by 'jurisdiction' and 'enforcement'. If the rank is on private property belonging to the rail company then they can control who comes on it, but once taxis are on it they can be controlled by LOs by virtue of the Public Health Act 1925. I think this was to stop unlicensed vehicles using ranks on private property. By the same token, a rail operator can let PH rank on private land, but if they're considered to be plying for hire - fully in view close to a public place, for example - then an LO can intervene. |

As long as the PH are not plying or operating individually without an operator licence and only have hirings dispatched to vehicles through a licensed operator, then everything is hunky-dory. |

Mmm, just know bits of Latin. The smelly sorceress, that right? (Well, perhaps some foul witch-craft will do the "delendam" part, my!) |
