(13 Apr 2019, 3:55 pm)Dan Not sure how legal it is? Hasn't been registered, and taking fares on the bus isn't strictly speaking an excursion. Trial or not, seems a bit naughty.

It's an odd one I agree. Henry Cooper arent operating it at any extra fares to what East Coast Taxis are advertising I suspect. But if Henry Cooper actually organise the tour and East Coast Taxis just act as a ticket selling agent then it would need registered I think. So since East Coast Taxis are taking the separate fares, and one would assume they must be paying Henry Cooper a fixed fee, it would be technical a Private Hire as far as Henry Cooper is concerned.

I think if it went to the Traffic Commissioner it would be argued back and forth.
