Does it have to be Wolverhampton or Mansfield
Bottom line is that if you want to pick up people from a taxi rank or when flagged down in the street then you must be licensed in that area.
So if you want to 'work the ranks' in Mansfield then you'd need a Mansfield HC badge and HC plate.
Which, according to this page, requires a knowledge test.
https://www.mansfield.gov.uk/taxi-priva ... ryId=20078As for whether or not you need to repeat all the other stuff that's not specifically local, then that will be up to Mansfield Council, but Sussex (who knows more about these procedural things than me) seems to be suggesting you WILL need to repeat them.
Also, not sure what kind of vehicle you might need in Mansfield, but possibly more difficult requirements than for the vehicle you have currently.
And not sure if there's a limit on HC license numbers in Mansfield, in which case you'd need quite a lot of cash to acquire one. Or you could drive someone else's HC. But it must be a Mansfield plated HC.
