Anyone know if there is any truth in the rumour that Airport Carz have lost Stansted to Checkers?

Mr Checkers is in fact a minicab circuit owner, so he should be right up your street. :roll:

That aside, he fleet of PHs at Gatwick are the best vehicles around, and the drivers the best dressed. :shock:

The trouble with the others though mac theres no sizeable local Taxi opposition to challenge the likes of airport carz and checkers.

I think if any coup was attempted at Heathrow there would be a slight backlash from 25'000 Taxi drivers.

Well you would hope anyway?

Seems like Airport Carz and Checkers are busy enough challenging each other.

Yes I was wondering that.

Is it suffice for an agent to book the journey through their London office?

I wonder what the Luton based Taxi's and Private Hire firms think about this set up?

I have noticed they have taken on a lot of new 'blue' Ford Galaxys recently moving away from that weird shaped Fiat they had.
