This is unbelievable. I'm taking a guess the CRT disc subs will be £155 for the month? If that figure is accurate then that means that with radio fees the owners will be paying an estimated £515 per month. Now if they were to have the Airport Permit at present that would be £555, I bet they're relieved they won't have to pay the Airport permit soon.

Now I could have the figure totally wrong so come on CRT tell me I'm wrong! I find it incredible that CRT have never backed up any of their statements with concrete evidence that it wasn't their choice to go alone at the Airport. City Cabs on the other hand not only invited in their own guys but they invited Central owners and drivers as well.

It's so transparent who is telling the truth yet most are still blinkered, neigh logic to the thinking!!

City Cabs Rule The Capital!!


Where is Fat Boab? He'll have the answer. Are they paying£155?

The monthly statement for March saw the discount levied to each member at a staggering figure of £184.

This coming on top of the exodus of members to City should see the remainder being hit for nigh on £200 in the coming months. This on top of the monthly dues will see Central as the dearest dues in Great Britian for a taxi or PHC company.

Is there anyone out there who can explain to me what strategy MVF Kevin, Murray (I need your votes) Fleming and Tony Kensnowt are pursuing? They are allowing disgruntled members to leave by buying the said members' share for £5k, the said member then strolls down to City Cabs, makes application to join for £1,400 down, £25 per week, 5-7 years airport work on top of a burgeoning account portfolio at full whack then walks along to Thomas Cook and gets a holiday for the family to wherever on the rest of the money Murray and Co handed over. All the time the rest of the Central (Titanic) members are footing the ever increasing discount! Beyond belief!

Artur, you do realise that had both CRT and City Cabs refused to back ECPH, your two companies regardless of how the airport was directing the tendering process. They would have been forced to back down and what's more. You could have forced ECPH, out of the Airport altogether. #-o

Quite honestly, how your committees conduct themselves is utter madness. They and you are driving your trade into the ground. #-o



It seems you want people to believe that you didn't want to drive taxis for a living anymore. And that's why you didn't go to the hearing. And I believe that

But when people tell you skull that the airport decided to have a cab rank and PH you don't want to believe that. The companies couldn't have forced the airport to back down as they would've just put the tender to another firm that would manage the rank. Remember, City Cabs aren't solely operating the rank at the airport. city cabs are "MANAGING" the rank at the airport. Street cars and ComCabs will have access too. CRT would have access but their rules dont allow it and the committee won't change it

Strange how you say ' on top of'

CRT 's monthly fees are the same every month- discounts may rise & fall
But they still pay the same fee every month.

Are you a complete tit? The monthly dues are the same £420+ but the discount is on top of this and it isn't falling, it's going up and up. it will only ever fall if a contract is lost or if the customer negotiates their discount down! Guess what ya tube, that's no gonna happen. Tell me you're no related to Tony Kensnowt?

I'll make it crystal clear Lionel. Each and every member of Central Taxis paid in March this year over £600 for the pleasure of being a passenger on board the Titanic!

Please come back and tell me i'm wrong? FUD

Don’t think this couldn’t be done.

Okay, CRT and City, to a man, withdraw their services from the airport, and they also refuse to pay the drop of charge.

They then challenge BAA (or whoever it is now) through the courts for operating a restrictive practice, by reducing people in status to that of mere cattle and selling them on to their service provider. (It's never been tried before, and you would need good legal advice, but you've already seized the moral high ground.)

CRT and City then embark on a press campaign and lobby the council for their support in forcing the airport to open up.

Oh and there's the little matter of putting all your eggs in one basket.

The same thing happened when City Cabs broke ranks and signed up for the Waverley contract. All their mobiles were being sucked into the City Centre to service the rank and over a period of a few months, they had lost work all over Edinburgh to CRT and Ph. The increase in work only benefited City Cabs for a short while, but they ended up paying out millions for something that would have been free had they all stuck together.

It’s no different for ECPH, even if they had support from ComCabs or the Street Cars. It would be a shambles. Oh and remember, unlike the Waverley the Airport is approximately seven miles from the City Center. ECPH or ComCabs would be caught with their trousers down, and all their contract work and regular customers would be up for grabs.

At the very least, it’s about forcing the airport into a position of renegotiation on your terms. :-|

I'm talking hypothetically based on the premise they stuck together instead of stabbing each other in the back. :wink:

Not a bad attempt at get out of jail, I apologise.

I think you and most would agree that the chances of 'sticking together' were finished as soon as Tony Kensnowt phoned and told City that it was game on. Since then there has been a seismic change in the power balance with City now holding all the aces, all the time helped by Central showing their hand.

"Sticking together" is something these feckwits could only dream about. I've never seen so many [edited by admin] crammed into such a small space as at CRT's AGMs. :-|

They are allowing disgruntled members to leave by buying the said members' share for £5k, the said member then strolls down to City Cabs, makes application to join for £1,400 down, £25 per week, 5-7 years airport work on top of a burgeoning account portfolio at full whack then walks along to Thomas Cook and gets a holiday for the family to wherever on the rest of the money Murray and Co handed over.

£184 per month for discounts. Not much more you can say apart from unbelievable.

I knew Fat Boab would uncover the figure. I never imagined it to be as high as that.
