I attended the IoL conference in Swindon last week (the only operator in attendance).

During the afternoon there was a speaker from the Welsh Government who presented what will be in a white paper very shortly for the Welsh Assembly to vote on.

He plans to;

Introduce a single tier system.

Set a tariff that covers all licenced vehicles across all of Wales.

Good luck with that one mate.

Indeed.

It was only last week I was reminded of the OFT Taxi Investigation nearly 15 years ago? #-o

I guess you need to be on their mailing list.

If you pay they let you in.

Veezu were meant to be there but didn't turn up.
