History File

Digby and Diane have been involved in
the
York Taxi and Private Hire Trade since 1970.
They have owned several Private Hire Firms
including Ace Taxis, First Choice Taxis and Badger Cars,
both before Private Hire Licencing began in 1977 and afterwards.
They have also operated several Hackney Carriage Vehicles
during that time.
 After selling all their Private Hire interests,
 they now concentrate solely
on
Airport Transfers.

Their photo library of those years may be of interest
 (or there again, it may not!)

The GALLERY PAGES show some of those images.

It's January 2005
and
ACE "Tony" LEMA
has been accused of illegally plying for hire
in
Rougier Street, York.

This is an audio recording of the interview
with the Taxi Licencing Officer
in the cells at DeGrey House.

Tony was wrongly accused and no further action was taken.
