Is the Liverpool licence liable to be a better option?

IMO it's always best to be an owner, and if you don't have to pay tens of thousands to do so, then don't.

Your point about the 250 odd owners in Wirral is interesting, and you have to wonder if those extra drivers are all thick and skint, or someone is telling fibs. :roll:


Yeah clearly they're still earning. I've gotta be honest, I suspect that a few of the comments regarding the market limitations are possibly tempered by the fact that some of these guys are comparing todays situation to long gone days when earnings potential was much greater. As I said I'm not expecting the streets to paved with gold, I'm purely looking for a regular(-ish) income.

If you do decide to go for it and join the Wirral ranks, you'll certainly need to get on one of the radio circuits.

Prior to the Wirral dereg, very few cabs were on the radio - now virtually all of them are.

Wirral Satellite Cars and Argyle Park are the main circuits and both are on satellite systems.

Didn't realise that, though I had seen a few with the Wirral Satellite logos. I presume they're relying on these for a good proportion of their work then? What about Liverpool?
