Which is long overdue, our last fare increase was way back in November 2002. Us and another firm have had the increase leaving the third firm to stay the same. I just hope the next increase isn't another 5 years away.



The sad thing is despite the increase the T1 start is still under £2, going from £1.40 to £1.60.

It good that your eventually catching up with the rest of the uk, but if as you say one of the firms is staying the same wont that affect you, with them being cheaper

It will affect us slighty as it did the last time they refused to up their fares when us and the other firm did.

On the plus side, it will mean they will get all the dregs and bagheads using them.

The sad thing is that some/most of the drivers on the firm that won't up their prices will be happy with what they are charging instead of upping their prices and every firm and driver being in the same boat as we were last week.

FFS I've just realised your a swear word PH

On a serious note, does the council state you have to have a meter when i think you do not have to, and can more or less charge what you like

The reality is that the private hire are not bad but they have to realise that the competition in future will be Delta undercutting them on price

Even though we are cheaper there is more money to be made on PH in Southport than by driving a hackney.



Not too sure what the council state as the car is not mine but unlike Delta (Crosby, Liverpool) we all have meters here in Southport and to be honest I'd rather drive a car with one.

Before the recent price increase when Delta were charing their weekend rate I was told that they weren't that much cheaper than ourselves.

Delta is hungry for work.... your next

As far as meters are concerned private hire do not need one .

I perish the thought, we've already got too many scousers in Southport.

Now Now Mr T, stop winding up our friends in the North of the Borough. We do more work in Liverpool in a minute than we do in a year at Southport. There's an impenetrable barrier north of Thornton, resulting from huge unpopulated areas of farmland and fields. On very limited occasions we will go to Southport or return from Southport, but Southport TO Southport, no chance. The geographically isolated population of Formby has its own indigenous fleets, as does Southport, and as does the spread of houses from Thornton, through Liverpool, out to St Helens and beyond... that's the Delta Zone...

P.S. You're next, not Your next..

You seem to have put a rather large investment in your new property, or should I say Training School , A rather large overkill to simply stay the size you are now , I do not think that Delta will miss out on any opportunity to create more work, and then expand ?.

I wouldn't worry too much about the spelling or pronunciation the message still gets across.

So when are you buying Warringtons finest then?

Not often you see those two words together.
