Can hackneys take bookings ? Seriously, I honestly dont' know this one.

If you take a flag/rank job and the punter says 'can you come back and pick me up at such and such a time' are they allowed ? Is it not classed as a private hiring ?

Now that's not very polite now is it. You don't learn if you don't ask and if you get abrupt answers it may stop them asking again :roll: :wink:

Yes it is a private hiring......but hackeys are permitted to carry out private hires.

what i meant was, any hack dropping off would be hard pressed to guarantee being able to do the return themselves not knowing what they may get off the rank, yes, they could take the booking but may have take themselves out of service to allow enough time to do the booking if they are independent (not on a circuit), the return could be days or weeks away
