has the Mansfield trade made any changes to the way they work since deregulation?

or is it off rank back to rank?


I think they would have seen a greater effect on the trade since their fare hike Yorkie.

Of course they are making changes, he has reported that 2 drivers joined a radio circuit.

The thing is Yorkie, if people think they can't afford taxis they won't use them, whether they are available or not.

changing to radio is not quite what I was getting at.

what I was asking is a fresh tactical approach like going to places frequented by people and plying there in mind churches, bingo, busy pubs or restraunts, church halls where long distance buses come in, outside large works, outside supermarkets, requsting freah ranks investigating taxi stops, and the like.

Thats fair enough Geoff but how do people get to these places, in the main areas where people congregate attract PH operators to offer free phone facilities to cover any demand for taxi services.

Maybe a suggestion would be to form an office and fight the PH operators for the work they give their PH drivers leading to more of them wanting to drive HC.

It all seems like a spiral downwards if you ask me.

Well Mick thats it then totaly defeated arnet we? never seen a church yet with a freephone, but you have not thought this trough, in fact you are wrong it would be a nightmare for private hire!

what happens they jump into taxis, private hire record no fares and before long the freephone contract does not get renewed, but before that happens drivers called to these sites lose confidence they will get a fare at all.

but the freephones go silent after a while, why phone to wait when the cabs outside?

by working together the taxis have much fun, take more cash, and can win.

built with a stack of advantage and what happens? they sit on rank moaning.?

Dean wins Gateshead becaues you let him, he realy has no intelectual challenge

unbelievable.

now Mick move down the Rank.
