Well then don't buy one. :-$

But who do you think should be the best people to decide what's best for themselves?

The drivers, or the PCO? :-k

According to the latest DfT figures outside of London there are just over 12,000 purpose built taxi vehicles in England and Wales, just how many of those are LTI I wouldn't know?

Now think about this? There are nearly 35 thousand saloon type vehicles which gives a 3 to 1 ratio of owners who prefer to buy saloon type vehicles if allowed the choice, So exactly what is you point? If that same percentage was to be echoed in London if and when the cof was ever relaxed then LTI would have a few problems on their hands, wouldn't they?

I'll tell you this for nothing, if they allow the E7 in London then they will have to allow the Mercedes and every other vehicle that has all the attributes of the E7. However, you can still fly the LTI flag and drive your TX1 around London but you might be one of a dying breed in years to come.

Just my opinion of course?

Regards

JD

I suspect if you replaced the 1 with a 2, you would'nt hold such a high opinion of your cab smudger?.

If that means the ' Doblo ' I'm getting firmly behind the LTI campaign.

I understand the doblo is rear loading and it has been outlawed by many authorities so I don't see the prospect of that.
