No, an additional one has come from Dawson Rentals on a one year lease (as it’s only a one year contract).

I suspect there is some misunderstanding/conflation of terms. There is no such thing as a "Community Transport group" - it's a term that has no meaning, so HCT Group doesn't lay claim to that title at all. It is in fact a social enterprise, comprising two distinct strands of activity. The...

I'm not Jake, but I'll do my best to answer this. Forgive me if I've misunderstood your question but you seem to be working on the assumption that the taxi feeder comes under the auspices of the PSV Operator Licensing regime (and everything that that brings with it in terms of local bus service...

Your concern is understandable, but I think (and hope) misplaced. My First Mile is deliberately and carefully targeted at gaps in the core bus network - in places where significant areas of population lie some distance from frequent bus routes. It is designed to appeal to a segment of the...

Also, sorry to double post but I forgot this bit... My understanding is that the various participants (including UWE who have done much of the data crunching, as well as First themselves) see Metrobus as the key area of opportunity, so you've actually hit the nail on the head - and this is a...

I can assure you it had nothing at all to do with me. Rhys initially responded to a tender opportunity, won fair and square and having been selected has contributed significantly to the product development - a point James Freeman made very graciously in his remarks at the launch. There is...

It's in London so it wouldn't be registered with the TC anyway, but would need permission from TfL - which is a lot less straightforward than registering a bus route outside the capital! While I applaud Citymapper and welcome anything which moves the industry forward, it makes me sad that...

But wouldn't you consider the possibility that having painted it up and done various other bits of improvement work, you might actually get more for it than you paid? That seems to be an entirely common approach, not just with buses but cars, property etc, and nobody seems to think it that...

If you ask for a 45 seater vehicle next Thursday, we would probably put you in touch with some operators who could help you. Or if you preferred, we could organise it for you but obviously we'd add a mark up. If you ask for a 45 seater for a repeat booking every day or for a regular job, that...

If a vaguely interested bystander has found this thread and made it through eight pages, I'm definitely buying them a beer! Thanks for that, but somehow I think I may have already got the faintest inkling of that :wink: On a more serious note, I knew all that before I ever met Rhys - the...

Fair enough. I stand corrected. I should have checked before posting. If your point about 'alternative facts' is meant to imply that I have deliberately misled anyone then I very strongly resent that - that has never been my style.

No no, I'm sorry to have misinterpreted. My apologies!!!

If it helps move things along, I think there are three points that have been established beyond reasonable doubt: 1) Snowdonia Travel Ltd has had an 'o' licence for around three years but never engaged in substantive PSV operation 2) The company currently has one vehicle which is not being...

TheGrandWazoo: I think your analysis is absolutely superb and sums up all the relevant points in a nutshell, including (and perhaps especially) the bits that make for uncomfortable reading. For me, the interesting point of debate is the extent to which CityFox and Rhys (and to a lesser...

I realise that you waste no opportunity to have a very personal dig at Rhys and/or CityFox but please don't tell lies. He made no such claim and indeed when questioned stated specifically that he didn't design the logo. What a hugely patronising statement. Who on earth do you think you are to...

It's on there because it exists as a limited company, not to promote the existence of a particular service. It just means that if the group carried out any operations under the Plymouth Limited Company (in Plymouth or anywhere else!) they don't need to reissue the Ts and Cs.

The illustrations of Splendour vehicles are just that - illustrations, or artists impressions of you like. They are not intended to show actual vehicles, but what a Splendour vehicle might look like. Clearly there aren't any real vehicles to use at the moment. The emphasis on promoting...

Some of you are nearly right, some are way off the mark. The view of the Wellglade directors is that they do not function as a group, but as a series of independent businesses that happen to have the same investors. Each company has its own autonomous management team and it is for that team to...

I think both of those are very plausible scenarios but I do agree that such a scenario works if the distance to be travelled is far enough that it would cost too much to take a taxi all the way.

Swanny200: I think your post illustrates superbly for the onlooker, why taxis are so different to buses and why it's so difficult to draw direct comparisons that will be easily understood by people who understand one but not the other. Just as people here struggle to understand the...
