No, but I take 100% of what I earn, I don't pay nobody for work, and never will.

Mine, all mine. :wink:

Jimbo, if you was a PH you would be getting more working through Taxi boss than sitting on a rank




If I were a PH driver, "wannabeeahack" I would more than likely be parked in the bus station, or on the railway station forcourt, or on double yellows near pelham bridge or on the county hospital bus stop, or on waterside north, or the countless other places that PH are parked up waiting for the next call to come in.

Nothing against legally operating PH, you understand, I just don't want to do it.


Sorry i forgot, hacks never park up waiting for work in places that they shouldn't do they?


where can a hack NOT park up, unless outside thier own LA?

They should not ply for hire In area's of private land and in our city's case, the railway station rank unless they have the required station permit.

Now, on the one hand you talk about hacks parking up, and on the other you talk of plying for hire.

My Hack is parked on private land right now. Is it parked legally?

It is parked and not plying for hire, BTW.

Where in Lincoln can I not ply for Hire? In your opinion.

And the Station forecourt is private property, and the PH "lurkers" are quickly finding out that Midland trains have a new parking attendant who is out to make a name for himself, pouncing on any private cars, and illegaly parked private hire cars who lurk too long, and even on Station staff who have been parking there on days off to go shopping. He must be on commission, the amount of tickets he's writing.

No where in mind, just all of it, that's the rules as far as i am aware. The only specific area i referred to was "the station rank" without the proper permit.

I think it's great that someone is moving on/ticketing the cars that shouldn't be there, don't you?

So PH
should definately avoid the station rank? A refreshing point of view.

But the railway station forecourt is private land, so am I not allowed to ply for hire there? In your opinion.

On the rank there yes, i certainly can't see why not as long as you have the correct permit.
