City of York plate gone for 66 grand, total of 5 bidders, is this a record, I said I would sell mine for 60 grand, but me thinks I will still work, some drivers going to the council to complain

Couple of weeks plate sold for 50 grand in High Wycombe

Edinburgh over £50,000 and climbing

it's ridiculous that someone will pay that when all over the country councils are issuing extra plates if they are that highly valued then there is a lot of work so a good reason for extra plates to be issued

Round my way you can have as many plates as you like there is no restriction on numbers

The plate in York which sold for £66,000 included the car which was valued at £10,000 so I think even Stinky Pete will be able to work out that the plate in real terms went for £56,000 still a lot of money I agree but how much have houses increased over the past few years.

Now let me "thinker" do the government deregulate houses?

Well he's gone, taken his 66 grand and along with his Police pension I hope he enjoys it, the taxi world maybe a better place without him, he's caused more harm than good, now we have another *anker running the show, the re enstalled self leader of York Station Taxis, everything he touches goes tits up

Anyway there is an emergency meeting for York Station Taxis, is this the nail in the coffin, the end, but then again they trade as a limited company and have a few trading names companies to fall back on, or is it to ask the 38 shareholders to stump up more money to keep the firm afloat, hey, who fiddling what down there, thats not their money their playing with, that belongs to the drivers, the credits they are owed on account from GNER

Station Taxis are trading wrongly, [they was warned by the Monoply commission] drivers want station permit, oh yes you can have one, but you must have a staion taxi radio fitted, 55quid, plus pay 10 quid a week for the permit to ply for hire, work that out when the station permit is only, and I say that with tongue in cheek, only, wot around 500 quid per year, "only"

so any new driver who wants to trade from York station pays [must have radio, no ifs and buts]...55 quid radio x 52 plus 10quid permit fee x52 = around £3160 per year to access the station,

so lets see what happens at the emergency meeting, the taxi world in this area could be a better place

There are to many people trying to run this job for there own greed, when the job can run perfectly normal without interference from the likes of York Station Taxis.

So there's agreement between you and Pete that plate values in York are now around the 55k mark? Thats an increase of ten grand since York decided to keep restrictions, which is understandable. Contrast that with Manchester who have recently seen a decrease of ten grand, from 50 to 40k.

Mr 187ums, you've gone from being the David Irving of plate premiums to the John Davis

I have a West Lothian plate. If someone has £66,000 they are welcome to it

If someone gave me six grand for mine, I'd seriously consider leaving the trade.

If someone gave me £66,000 I'd seriously consider retiring

You got it wrong, the vehicle went for 7 grand, even that was over priced, pile of crap he had, once its had a plate attached the vehicle is worth next to nowt, only on paper, so he got 59 grand for the plate, a little fairy told me so.

Somethings happening, it every night in the press [York press] there is a plate up for sale, seems loads with Station permits and Station Taxi shares are after selling, do they no something I don't know, or are they jumping on the selling band wagon, for big money, who is "Chris"??? taxi for sale with all thrown in
