Do you get value for your station permits?

DfT Station Users Stats

Waterloo Station 105,000,000 users = £0 for permits.

Newcastle Station 6,700,000 users = £1,500 (approx) for permits.

Brighton Station 15,045,000 users = £410 for permits.

Any more? :?

I don't know what they charge London cabs at heath-row or any of the the other 2 airports,
But if all taxis where to withdraw there services for a day from all airport and stations, would anyone in the government take notice

Which three? Does the pass cover you for all the stations or are you restricted to one?

sorry this is a bit of a late reply cabbyman not been on for a while. the 3 stations are cosham, portsmouth & southsea and fratton. the harbour station has a rank outside on the road so no charge there. and yes the pass covers all 3 stations
