So, if an operator from say Guildford takes a fare to Heathrow and has a pre-booked back working, is that illegal? I think not. Of course it is possible to accept a pre-booked job from anywhere in the country, the emphasis being pre-booked, even if it is booked when the driver is on the way to another job.

Otherwise none of us would be able to accept returns from airport runs!


Correct. You can't do return runs from the airport. You are supposed to return to base empty.


says who?

Is that true for Uber though ? Don't the bookings go through the servers in Holland can we say for certain that when the passenger activated the app the information went to the "base" in the licensing area

It is true for Uber.

But your point re servers applies to 100s of firms that have apps, as many go through servers based outside of the UK, usually the USA.

But as long as the work is received and dispatched from a local office, then it doesn't matter if the work is received in a server outside the UK first, as long as it goes to the office for dispatching.

One should be in their own licensing district to take a booking for a TAXI.
