They Lied To Us Before And They're Lying To Us Again. The Fight Is On....Greenbadgejohn.


The fight is on.

Being that the TXe is 20 grand overpriced and has a limited time use, its only likely to end in tears for us especially as Tfl has stopped plating diesel cabs to remove all options of new cab purchases to one.

When Boris brought in a 15 year time limit back in 2012 he did so to remove what he called old polluting diesels and 7 years on with literally thousands of old polluting cabs removed they have now come after all the rest except that the rest are far cleaner and the last being euro 6 is so clean that TFl are seeking a 12 year age limit on all the rest except the euro 6.

The way the Mayoral & TFL schemers are working leave nothing to be believed by us anymore, and it seems only the LTDA have confidence it strategies TFL secretly conspire to deliver, surely the LTDA can see huge errors in policies being dreamt up and delivered upon us? ... apparently not.

I, like most, find TFL lacking good relationship qualities when a licensing authority literally provokes its licensees to enter legal proceedings against it and at the same time uses licensees money to defend itself via licensing fees which shows no morality of argument win or lose their end.

It is becoming a daily fight to survive unfair competition AND TFLs crushing requirements and this latest 12 year age limit battle can only prove that point.

The plan to phase out further diesel licensing was muted in conversation around January 2015 which was not as I believe coincidental to the newly proposed euro 6 which was about to be released by LEVC and would have a sales platform of about 2 years plus, this would keep the manufacturer in business long enough to continue developing the TXe which is the ultimate goal.

The TX4 euro 6 is probably the best TX4 to date and excepting the emission afterburner is a good performing cab with very low emissions, far lower than anything before it, so why did TFL use the publicity stunt of banning further diesel licensing on 1st January 208 with that knowledge? ...
Simple, so they could bring in a plan for lower age limits a year later without an option to buy another diesel taxi which incidentally eeps its full 15 year status because its so clean!!

TFL has finely developed a tool of timed deception and we all fall for it every time, and you can be absolutely certain they have had meetings for the next steps already, so forget the 'consultation' as this word is flawed and actions must be planned by us.

So many people in our trade are sleepwalking into thinking a meaningful and honest relationship can be achieved with TFL but I can honestly say after the last 5 years its looking dire unless we stop their ambitions to destroy us we will not survive, and its one of very few times where the truly best service money can buy is going to be completely decimated by the greedy top tabled few powered by the poor needy classes shipped in to do the deed.

Think very carefully where you think you will be in 5 years from now, because if you think you are immune from this you are dreaming.


Be Lucky & fight the biggest fight

TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT: 
We were lied to by Boris who said that he was replacing the dirty old taxis with newer cleaner diesels. 
Kings Collage bought out a report which proved the older cars he removed were actually cleaner than the new cabs which were given out more NO2, NOx, and PM10. 

Now we are being lied to by Sadiq Khan who says Taxis are the major polluters, dismissing the fact that his cleaner hybrid buses virtually all are running on pure diesel, a fact he and TfL have swept under the carpet.....And again Kings Collage have come up with a report that the air on the tube is 30 times more polluted than the air at road level. 

TfL and the Mayor now need a bigger carpet!
