Taxis

RE: Taxis
A new type of taxi has made its debut in Liverpool - the Ford Tourneo, in the shape of YT17 LHN (LCC Hackney Carriage 840).

Current active licensed taxis according to my records:

FX4s: 2 (G965 EHC and N423 CMT)
Metrocabs: 3 (N928 YOC, W978 ULX and SF03 OFL)
LTI TX: 1225 (188 TX1, 471 TX2, 566 TX4)
Peugeot E7: 130
Mercedes Vito: 55
Renault Trafic: 7
Ford Tourneo: 1

St Helens now also have their up-to-date Hackney Carriage Register online:

Peugeot E7s, along with the Fiat Scudo and Citroën Dispatch (which are basically the same vehicle), are the norm here, with 50 examples licensed, versus only 10 of the TX series, and one each of the Vauxhall Vivaro and Ford Tourneo.

I've put in a FOI request for Knowsley's list and will report back when I get a response.
