Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2023-06-30 22:44	Typo for FX4 presumably.
Sunbar ◊ 2023-06-30 22:46	Right, need to put brain in gear.
Sunbar ◊ 2023-06-30 22:50	London Aug. 1973 early M registration?
dsl ◊ 2023-06-30 22:50	TGW 235M was Central London, Aug 73, black Austin 2520cc diesel, ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 1 November 1984. So now we know where defunct London taxis go to die.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2023-06-30 22:56	Quote Black taxis are common in the city, operating on a share basis in some areas. Separate associations serving nationalist and unionist areas operate throughout Belfast. During the Troubles, nationalist taxi drivers in West Belfast and Ardoyne became targets for loyalist assassination campaigns.[14] Today black taxis take tourists on tours of the city's sectarian murals. They are now outnumbered by private hire minicabs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Belfast#Cars_and_buses Quote Bus services in and around Belfast often ran in competition with black cab taxis throughout the 1970s and 1980s. These offered lower fares and provided individual services for Belfast's Protestant and Catholic communities at times when bus services were forced off the road by disorder and paramilitary action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(Belfast)#History -- Last edit: 2023-06-30 22:59:37
