	About London Taxis
		Taxis, Cabs and Hackneys are all terms describing vehicles which are legally allowed to ply for hire - it is an offence for other types of vehicle to display the words 'Taxi', 'Cab' or 'Hire'.
		Taxi operations outside London are controlled by local authorities under the provisions of various Acts of Parliament: the Town Police Clauses Act 1847, the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 [which extends the 1847 Act], the Transport Act 1985 and bye-laws subject to Home Office approval.
		If the taxi is waiting on a rank or at a stand, he or she must take the fare (unless there is a reasonable reason not to - whatever reasonable may mean).

		The reason is that the great number of older taxis that plied for hire in London underwent a dramatic change at the turn of the century in that all taxis had to be wheelchair compliant at turn of year 2000.
		The basic problem with the earlier taxis, a design problem endemic to British cars, was that of rust, and sadly many eminently restorable taxis ended their life broken up for parts or scrapped as not many folk considered a working taxi as worthy of preservation.
		Do note that all London taxis are diesel, none are available as gasoline save the odd few that are duel fuel and these are not recommended due to high wear problems.
