The situation at York Station is permit only to pick up on the rank, the permit is issued to the licence holder, threfore is you sell the plate (licence) the fee has to be paid again as it is re issued to a new licence holder, they say the fee goes to GNER I have my doubts, anyone new applying for a permit is only given one on condition that they go on the radio circuit and pay £55 a week rent. surely this cannot be legal as it is tantamount to blackmail.
Also when you are given your receipt for the permit which includes V.A.T the receipt is on a slip of paper with no details on surely if they are charging V.A.T it should have their number and address on, and if the person is claiming the V.A.T back it shoud show their name and address also.
Contract law,
Any grievenece is with the contractor and in this case the contractor is Station Taxis. They set the contract terms, which both you and they have to abide. You don't have any other legal right in regard to plying for hire on Railway Property.
