A few months ago I was informed that a private radio company in Manchester allowed hackney carriages from another authority to use their radio system. At the time I wasn't aware of this and I asked the person to which radio company he referred? I was never told the name of the Radio company therefore I wasn't aware if he was correct or mistaken?
To cut to the quick I now understand that a certain hackney carriage Radio company in Manchester does allow hackney carriages from two other localised authorities to use their system.
This activity is perfectly legal.

It happens with about ten companies in this area alone,plus quite a few in the neighbouring la,s as well.
