Dear Mr Henderson

 

Our ref: FOI-1263-1516

 

Thank you for your email received on 12 October 2015 asking for
information about out of town taxis/PHVs. Please accept my apologies for
the delay.

 

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that
we do hold the information you require.

 

TfL have not contacted any regulatory authorities in the last two months
to verify a booking of an out of town vehicle spotted operating within TfL
boundaries. If we receive this kind of complaint, we would verify with the
relevant operating company as long as we are provided with identifying
details such as the driver’s name and identification number.

 

If we are notified of an out of town vehicle and the operator cannot
verify it then we would raise the matter with the appropriate licensing
authority.

 

If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate
to contact me.

 

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached
information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Graham Hurt
