Start normally at £3 at weekends and Bank hols but it's £4 over certain dates over Xmas and New year. But then standard 20p charge per 165 yards.

That's a quick Google for Sunderland Council.

So the taxi's that advertise fare starts at 80p like in newcastle and gateshead could now start at £3? if the use the same system as sunderland?   Now my maths isnt that good but.......

The last time i use a taxi on new years day i think it was just over double what i had paid him last time, including tip ofcourse
