TX4 ownership requires money to be thrown at it. |

He's just gloating because he's managed to effectively ruin the Edinburgh taxi trade, it might take a while to prove me right but the day will come when it just won't be worth being a cabby in that city anymore, and he'll realise it would've been a better idea to have just either kept the one he had originally or bought back in, before long someone else will be cracking that joke about his cash bag as he approaches a full rank and is waved on be a marshall. |

back to that old chestnut boring!! around 70 apps so far most of whom already drive for someone else thats around 5% increase probably far less in real terms,seems quality controls do work. tell me doom what quality controls do you have both driver and veicle do you have a topographical test in youre area for example health and saftey modules,anger management,wheelchair assistance etc etc 
btw i rarely use ranks plenty sud in edinburgh if you go looking for it rather than expect the work to come to you. going to a full rank however when you have to find £250>£350 a week in rental really [edited by admin] me of though,thankfully that will never happen again. no more long and unsafe hours for minimal wage for me and quite a few others |

problem in edinburgh is that the money that is thrown at new vehicles come directly from the drivers pocket,and not the owners.the driver had no input and no choice pay for my new taxi and radio dues or [edited by admin] off |

Why do you keep on answering your own questions Ali yer irriot
Just because your LA allows you to run old cheap cars doesn't mean everyone else's does, in an area where there are age restrictions to own and op a WAV it is going to cost the average non mechanical minded driver £200 - £250 plus radio fees pw if he needs a radio. Why should I hand mine back, I bought it so I had a job for life, I've no intent to sell it for any profit, unlike you I might add, I've been serving my public for well over twenty years now with clean modern vehicles. |

The reason I bought in was because the saloon could be replaced for 7-10k each time rather than 23k for a WAV, what I paid for the plate and the cost of my following 2 cars came to the same as a WAV, which had to be new at 1st licence to get a plate. Have you a left handed screwdriver, a bag of plastic nails and a long weight by any chance? you'll certainly have one of those three before long when all those new plates arrive
