It does not say "London Cabs" only, it states "Black cabs & P.H". On the basis that BC & PH are all round the country, then I feel that there is an argument for dispensation and all should be allowable.

Taxi and Private Hire (TPH) is what the Public Carriage Office (PCO) are now called.

Taxi and Private Hire (TPH) is the name for TFL.......I think they are saying licensed with Taxi and Private Hire (TPH). Which makes them London licensed vehicles only.

Thus guaranteed to cause confusion with the provincial trade.

I see a vehicle with 9 or more seats qualifies for a 100% reduction...thats an odd number..had it been intended to help Minibus type vehicles it would 10 seats including drivers.

Who exactly pulls such random numbers from the hat?

Of course the 9 seats includes the driver so that meant that my limos were exempt from the charge.
