Well, maybe, but the manufacturers of the traditional TX have had a monopoly for years and their prices for vehicles and spares have been very high. This because of the technical requirements placed upon Black Cabs and the relatively low production volumes of TX.


Technology has finally caught up and so mainstream manufacturers can meet those requirements without an excessive investment in R&D. They can manufacture variants of existing models and so benefit from lower costs through high production volume.


Mercedes got in to the market first a few years ago. They met the challengingly small turning circle requirement by grafting 4 wheel steering onto an existing people mover design. Now Nissan have followed them and it wont be long before other manufacturers pile in too.

    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
