Hello everyone, I work as a phd. Question is: a hackney can act as an operator for a private hire?(example:my mate who is a hackney driver can not fulfill his bookings because they are on the same time,can he legally pass it to me?) Is there any legal way of doing long runs without beeing licensed as a hackney or getting the private hire operator license aswell? |

A hackney can pass work to any private hire. It doesn't matter if it is short distance or long distance if you are being paid to do it you need a license. If you are employed by a company and you are driving that company's vehicle to transport that company's staff then you shouldn't need a license. |

Your answer to (b) is correct until the 1st of October, then it's wrong. |
