Touts Caught Like Rabbits In The Headlights, By Driver Led Flash Demo At St Pancras.... By Jim Thomas

There's a fine line between having a secret, last minute protest....and having a flop on your hands.

But last night, rank and file drivers pulled off a last minute flash demo at St Pancras drop off on Pancras Road, Kings Cross.

Since the week long demos organised by DDD and MM last year, Camden Council have been playing fair, keeping the drop off sections clear most of the day. TfL are supposed to police the set-down area in the evenings, but we've been seeing the touts double and triple parked at night - it's got so bad, we can't even drop our passengers off. Sunday evenings are atrocious.

Illegally parked, the touts sit there waiting for the ping of the app they used to visually ply for immediate hire.

Over the past few days, plans for the demo were hatched within certain chat rooms and spread throughout the trade by word of mouth. Drivers met at a pre-arranged assembly point and just before 8pm, the shout went out on main Twitter and other social media platforms.

Soon, the area became gridlocked, completely taking the touts by surprise, trapping them kerbside, where they had to sit until the demo concluded.

Bemused Prius drivers who were unable to turn left or right from Euston Road drove round the block (York Way and Goods away) only to find Pancras Road blockaded from Camley Street.

Keep an eye out for more of the same in the very near future.

TfL compliance have for many months, turned a blind eye to what goes on at the St Pancras drop off bays, choosing instead to target Taxis legally sitting on the rank opposite.

Their main concern being aggressive Badge and Bill checks on perfectly legal Licensed Taxis.

Amazingly, as the demo kicked off, there were six (6) compliance officers at Kings Cross.

Taxi Leaks roving reporter said as soon as they saw what was occurring, they removed their identifying HiVis jackets and disappeared into the Station, as if they had been given the nod not to get involved and to have it on their toes.

This woefully inadequate TfL administration are refusing to protect unsuspecting members of the public, from unbooked minicab touts.

St Pancras is an international terminus and should be given the same security attention as any airport.

It's obvious to the trade that the harassment being dished out to the Taxi drivers, has been ordered by senior management from the TfLTPH directorate and is even more evidence of their bias towards us.

Weekends are worse at St Pancras, no wardens, no compliance....

Editorial Comment :

Well done to all the drivers who turned up last night.

If asked to sign a blank screen after being B/B don't!

It's just for their performance figures, so they can say what a good job they're doing and how much we appreciate it.

Another one for the boycott list:

As big business lines up to take part in our demise, we need to add a new name to the ever increasing list.

My email to APPG... by Paul van Nuland

Dear sir/madam

with regards to the APPG inquiry in to the taxi trade and the future, I feel that the feeling of, and the actual demise lays squarely at the feet of the regulating authority. whilst only being a licensed taxi driver a short while, I have worked in other fields where regulatory authority was weak and many things were ‘let go’ until it was too late (remember the LIBOR scandal and the sub prime crisis both a result of, at the time, weak regulation).

Well, as i see it the taxi trade is currently resembling the general public who have suffered through the aforementioned scandals/crisis. We have a regulator who doesn’t regulate, apart from heavy handedness towards the licensed taxi trade.

How can it be right senior members of our regulator have vested interests in other forms of public transport (namely private bus companies)?

How can it be that a current board member had huge interest in credit card payment systems and shortly after the compulsory mandate joins TFL’s board? and how is it that individual self employed drivers were told which system they had to install and pay transaction fees way above market rate? As a regulator they should ensure drivers are fit and proper and offer the facilities anything beyond is, in my opinion, outside the boundaries of their role as regulator.

There is talk that plying for hire needs to be defined, well it has been defined many many years ago, NO PRIVATE HIRE CAN BE SEEN TO BE AVAILABLE FOR HIRE, NOR CAN IT BE PARKED UP NEAR ANY VENUE WHERE THE PUBLIC MAY THINK IT IS AVAILABLE FOR HIRE. Apps are basically eyes, apps showing available private hire in a certain area are in fact plying that car for hire through their app, or the driver is plying for hire using the platform whichever way you wish to look at it, but whatever way you look at it, IT IS ILLEGAL.

there needs, with immediate effect, a total cap on the number of private hire on the streets, various reasons, but mainly London is choking to death through the congestion, and increasing the traffic by up to 600 vehicles every week obviously doesn’t help the matter, also London is beyond saturation point it will damage the economy if all these drivers can’t earn a wage and therefore start claiming benefits, coupled with our regulator licencing companies that avoid VAT and Tax, well you don’t need to be a mathematician to work it out.

Also cross border hiring needs to stop, drivers working outside their licensing area it not safe for the public whatsoever.

The criteria for private hire drivers needs to be raised, minimum 3 years residence in the U.K, thus enabling the licensing authority to obtain a full DBS certificate, full U.K driving licence to be held and an advanced driving test passed.

we seem to be in a situation where our regulator wishes to lower the standard to suit the masses rather than make the rest of the industry raise their standards to that of the worlds best taxi drivers, who are loved and revered around the world, but not by its own regulator it would seem.

As an integral part of Londons transport system licensed london taxis should be granted access to all bus lanes, this may in some way help reduce congestion, in my opinion they are failing as a credible regulating authority and if the Mayor cannot make the changes that are required, then the TPH trade needs to have its own autonomous regulator.

apologies for the length but as you must be aware by now there are many many issues affecting the taxi trade

yours sincerely

The Three Card Trick...English, My English... By Lenny Etheridge.

Who cares about the Language Test?

Why would I possibly care if a two-bit outfit can communicate with its unprincipled punters?

You pay peanuts, you get monkeys talking jibberish.

Who cares about the 'advanced' Driving Test?

All that is needed, to make London's roads safer, is a proper pass of the DVLA test.

What London needs, and the Motor Insurance Bureau is surely crying out for, is a British Standard of driving.

This dangerous, yet common practice of trading in a foreign, and often inferior, driving licence for a UK license, must cease immediately.

Surely the very least HM Government, the Mayor of London and Transport for London should be demanding is a consistent standard of driving in the UK.

The Language Tests and the Driving Tests will turn into farce, just like the infamous Medical Tests, and the dubious DBS checks.

Drivers' Medical Tests are of greater importance, and look what has happened to those.

The DBS is of greater importance, and look what has happened to those.

The fact that London may have dangerous, unhealthy Private Hire drivers ferrying children and vulnerable passengers around our once great city, seems of no concern to HM Government, the Mayor of London or Transport for London. For there has been no recall of drivers or insistence upon drivers to retake their medicals, after the 'Medicals for Sale' scam hit the headlines.

I wonder how many of those, all too frequent, PH crashes in London have been caused by an unhealthy or sick driver?

As for DBS checks, Brian Rix could not have written the script more farcical; letters of good conduct from strangers, to strangers, about strangers. No wonder we have strangers driving minicabs.

London needs proper background checks of at least 5 years UKresidency. I am sure Mayor Sadiq Khan empty-promised as much.

These strangers are in a car alone with children and vulnerable people, for crying out loud!

Londoners and the media are being blinded by poxy English tests and penny ha'penny driving tests; all of which will come out of the drivers' pockets, not their employers.

Yet these Mickey Mouse tests will help legitimise toxic work models like Uber. The public will be fed crap about advanced driving tests and high standards of communication.

While nothing is being done about dangerous strangers driving minicabs around the dark streets of London, and beyond.

KEEP LONDON SAFE!

Huge rise in Sheffield minicab drivers travelling to London to get licences

A big spike in the number of Sheffield drivers travelling to London to obtain Private Hire licences from TfL has sparked further concern over regulations.

Figures supplied to The Star by the GMB union show in the last six months - the number of drivers with a Sheffield postcode that holds a Transport for London PHV licence has risen from 53 to 177 - a massive 330 per cent increase.

In September 2016, The Star revealed over 700 taxi drivers that reside in Sheffield were handed licences from councils as far as Wales and Lancashire - over 400 of which came from the town of Rossendale near Blackburn.

GMB rep and Sheffield licenced taxi driver Ibrar Hussain has been campaigning on this issue calling for stricter regulation on cross-border taxi licencing.

He said: "There is a lack of enforcement or no enforcement at all as to who's driving these vehicles. Are they fit and proper? Are the vehicles safe to drive? Why live in Sheffield, but get licence from TfL?

Mr Hussain has been joined by senior council figures and Sheffield MPs on lobbying the Government to change the law .

At present, a driver who lives in Sheffield can approach Transport for London for a private hire vehicle licence and come back to Sheffield to operate in the city with a number of firms.

Because the driver is licensed elsewhere in the country, Sheffield Council has limited powers to take enforcement action if needed.

Sheffield Heeley MP Louise Haigh said: “Sheffield Council prides itself on its strict licensing and rigorous training conditions which help keep taxi and PH users in our city safe. But the change in the law is riding roughshod over these protections meaning drivers from across the country can get a licence from areas with different standards and requirements and still operate in Sheffield.

"We have been warning the Government about this for months and these troubling new figures show it is now time to take action. Sheffield Council should decide who can and can’t operate a Private hire car in our city, not some council hundreds of miles away who haven’t the first idea about what protections Sheffield needs.”

Sheffield Central MP Paul Blomfield said: He said: "I warned the Government that this would happen back in 2014 when they proposed the new rules, and I’ve pressed the case with Ministers since then.

"Allowing drivers to register anywhere in the country undermines Sheffield Council’s tough approach to regulation, putting passengers at risk. The Government is putting ideology ahead of common sense on the deregulation of taxi and Private Hire licensing.”

Email from Steve Garelick of the GMB to TfL, concerning the Sean Stocking incident

Email from Steve Garelick of the GMB to TfL

I am driven to write to yourselves based on the decision to revoke Sean Stockings license.

Whilst Sean is not a member of the GMB I am concerned that this matter is not seen as localised.

Notably I cannot agree with certain aspects of the reasoning behind this matter.

Firstly, my concerns about comments on Twitter the reality is there is a feeling of helplessness that many drivers are experiencing as a result of work they imagined would provide them with income for their working life.

A series of decisions some internal some unavoidable has led to many using social media for their only avenue to vent frustration and to ask questions which may be unpalatable.

This may not sit well as derogatory however based on my yet as unanswered email to Peter Blake from earlier this year is it any wonder that drivers feel this way.

Being blunt my email was an attack on Peters management of the spaces situation which theoretically could garner a similar response?

Turning to the aspect of Leon Daniels firstly a restaurant is not a private institution in fact a restaurant is as public as it gets.

I have to expect when in social situations that drivers will want to engage with me as this is part and parcel of public engagement.

I noted the unease and aplomb of Mr. Daniels but bluntly knowing he wrote to Uber to discuss ideas for their operation does not endear him to me as his role is of a licensing authority official and not a business adviser.

Mr Stockings has to my knowledge no complaints about his behaviour or demeanour in carrying out his working role and I think this does clearly then question the reasoning behind this revocation.

Is there any chance the public are either at risk or that when carrying passengers is there a chance that professionalism of a London taxi driver and ex-serviceman would be transformed?

In my opinion this is not only unlikely but a weak hypothesis.

I would request this is reconsidered as a matter of urgency and that moving down the path of further rebuttal and angst from the taxi trade a reassessment of this matter is given earnest reflexion.
