    Both k cabs and bline ( now arrow) are taxi companies not hackney, and its illegal for them to transport you without running their meters............

    K cabs defo have hackneys as well as taxi cabs :)
    If a hackney was requested there is nothing to stop them sending a taxi who is willing to work to the base hackney pricelist afaik.

    That's only if you get the taxi from a rank or hail it down, if you prebook a hackney the car that arrives can have a taxi plate but as I stated in my earlier post it's free to work to hackney rates once it's prebooked through the base.

    As you're wrong about K cabs having hackneys are you sure you're not wrong about the finer details of PSV legislation too?

    A taxi can work as a hackney, a hackney can't work as a taxi.

    Thanks RoverJames

    I use K Cabs all the time and there are still hackneys operating for them and NEVER does a "Taxi" pull up n run the meter
    They pull up n log in a note book where they are collecting and droping and they charge you hackney fare for it!

    Satiliete taxis would go bust with out there scandolous call out charges and extra person fares!Also this "zonal" system they operate is a joke too!
