We received word from London over the weekend that the
London Cab Company have been contacting owners of TX4’s, some up to 2
years old, and telling the Owners their cabs are unfit for use.
It came as no surprise to hear Engineers were in Manchester yesterday, Monday 12. At least one owner was told his cab is no longer fit to work. He was advised to park it up.
He has refused to do so. Who can blame him, he is paying £135 a week finance for this vehicle. He cannot afford to pay another £180 a week to hire a cab to keep on working until this mess is cleared up.
Is the driver committing an offence ? The answer must be no. The council have not issued notice of suspension. At its last inspection, the same council found it fit for purpose.
Please bear this in mind if LTC contact you. Do not let them inspect your vehicle, they have no idea how many are affected, why put yourself out of work.
Why have LTC not notified Manchester Licensing of these inspections ? The answer must be they are trying to play down the size of the problem. There are two reasons for this.
1. They still hope to get a mug to bail them out.
2. They do not want anymore drivers joining the Class Action started by the Big London trade group, for compensation. Some owners have started giving back the vehicles to Black Horse Finance and walking away.
60 Suspension and revocation of vehicle licences
(2) Where a district council suspend, revoke or refuse to renew any licence under this
section they shall give to the proprietor of the vehicle notice of the grounds on which
the licence has been suspended or revoked or on which they have refused to renew the
licence within fourteen days of such suspension, revocation or refusal.
