As minicab driver I am finding it very difficult to get work at the big night clubs in the West End. This is because too many black cabs are stealing work from minicab drivers at these venues. Black cabs need to stick to doing off street pickups and stay away from night clubs. This is the domain of the private hire industry!

Alegidly the PCO has been informed about this and they will be clamping down on Mini cabs that dont return to base if they are clear.
Your not allowed to loiter or pick up illegally anywhere in the UK, unless you have a genuine booking.
BTW the clubs are all now connected to halo app so the work goes to the real taxi drivers

Never guess yer ex mob would yer dope PH can loiter for work anywhere and if you think that means their licensing Area yer wrong but even if it did London's rather a large area :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
90% of club work these days is divided between PH legally booked and Touts completely unhindered by the fyllllllllthhhy's. :twisted:

Now with smartphone minicab drivers can get a lot more work because we accept job on our phone, and then send it to office. :D :D .

Night club work is still cut-throat though. It is all about timing. You need to swoop in at just the right moment :)

Can you swoop in and avoid all the Anti aircraft fire from the Hack-Hack guns on the Night club runway?
