Taxis

RE: Taxis
I find it interesting to browse Liverpool City Council Licensing Department's Hackney Carriage Register online.

There are around 1413 taxis currently licensed of which I've seen about 1200. Although the LTI TX series still overwhelmingly predominates, accounting for over 90% of Liverpool taxis, the balance is shifting: around half of the cabs new in the last 5 years are Peugeot E7s, with the Mercedes Vito also on the increase, up from three examples to nine since October.

Notably there are still three Carbodies/Fairway FX4s plying for hire: R866 VLW, N423 CMT, and most remarkably G965 EHC, which celebrates its 26th birthday next week and is a full six years older than the next oldest active taxi.
