Travelmasters/Limomasters a well iffy firm who's past has been well recorded by TDO www.taxi-driver.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7870 have just had their restricted PSV licenses revoked by the South East Traffic Commissioner (bless him).

So as they have no PH licenses, no taxi licenses, and now no PSV licenses, will the National Limo Association boot them out of their gang? :?

Any idea what the reason was?

For starters the operator didn't turn up for the Inquiry. :roll:

I think the Traffic Commissioner decided the operator wasn't 'fit and proper' for a PSV restricted ops license due to his unlicensed PH/taxi work, and he didn't produce any information that could show he was in a fit financial state.

I'm informed he has 14 days to send his discs back, and 28 days to appeal.

I'm also informed that the police are very much on the look out. :D

these lomos/stretches,etc, whats the biggest problem, carrying too many (though 8 in the back would seem sufficient usually) or the sideways seats?

Being licensed is the main bit many don't adhere too.

But in all fairness I've seen two PH plated 8-seater Limos this week. Even gave way to one of them. Image
