So you pay 40K, to apply for a license. Oh and let's not forget the council still owns the plate.

Oh and Dougie, Eric Barry is one of the biggest fannies ever to walk the earth. This man was born a fanny, and he'll die a fanny.

It's not de-regulation. No one is suggesting doing away with regulation. If anything, we want more regulation in the form of quality controls, to control entry into the trade.

This is why we call it's called de-restriction.

Yeah you call it what you want bud. Call it errm happytimeswehavemorecabstoserve it is still deregulation, in spite of what you call it.

You dont have quality, thats the problem, because my kind of quality, is possibly different to yours and of course vice-verse.

Dougie Dougie Dougie

councilors talk crap there not qualified to give an accurate opinion on anything,your just one of those guys that wants to believe what your told,you relinquish control to others whom you see as being superior to you(councilors etc)not a hard task i must admit.
in short Dougie your are one of those forelock tugging morons that skull is talking about

but you've been told that your model requires a change in legislation,and you still cant get your little head round it,who cares carry on,if it ever came to this madness being introduced then i would simply go get tested elsewhere,and pay a nominal fee to the council for many more plates.
you just done get what is required buy a local authority Dougie,I'm not saying that the council cant introduce what they want ,god knows they come up with some nonsense up and down the country,it only works if they have the compliance of idiots ,but when its challenge its found wanting,and i think you'll find that it would be challenged don't you

lets get this right dougie there will be a massive test centre that does all public transport testing for the whole region ?
that makes sense to me

the bit that doesnt make sense is why the taxi trade would pay for it ?

are we to pay for the fuel for lrt's buses there drivers wages,premises for tuk tuks ,radio dues for phc's
why don't all us taxi drivers get down once a week and wash the competitions cars and buses and we'll pay them for doing it
this is precisely why idiots like you should shut the feck up,you would skin us all alive for the sake of your little illusion.

It makes perfect sense for the council to charge the market value for a new plate, If they are able to be sold on then that is perfectly fair.

As for any new test centre, a company the size of lrt tests on their own premises. Smaller companies use Livingston for tests, driving tests etc.
So there is no need for somewhere else in the area for buses.

Do you not think once cab direct have got there e7 operating in all the major cities that the will not take councils to court so they can have there European whole type approved rear loading vehicles such as the maxi,Peugeot partner getting approved.

and anyway Dougie what makes you think we need a new testing station and what makes you think it would cost anymore to run new premises than it did the old premises.

your a complete clot Dougie.

if they tried to do it that way they would fail,if there management of premises/finances etc is that bad that they needed to charge £40k per application then i think the auditor would need to be having a wee look at them don't you.

your as desperate as they come with this nonsense.
oh btw your not privy to council secrets Dougie,your being used,they new you would talk ,and they have no intention of implementing any of this nonsense ,there gathering info not giving it away.

yes but the market value is zero.
just ask the council.and the courts.

its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

the council cannot make a profit from licenses fee's period !!!

this idea's a non starter unless someone can prove different

you have been warned http://www.cabdirect.com/vehicles/peugeot_premier/

European whole type approved £12,500 plus vat

you know your talking to the edinburgh taxi trade when they think £40k is a good price for a steam clean

you can bury your heads in a cloud but i can guarantee you will come down with one hell off a bump

i dont understand how dundee council can pass a rear loading wav when it has already banned another one(doblo)

Dundee did not ban the Doblo they made a condition that all new licences would have to be European whole type approval.The Peugeot has this type of approval. At £12,500 plus vat i think you will see a reduction of ph and an increase in hacks which means even less rank space. Were doomed :sad:
