We’ve been sending messages to drivers about this at the behest of LCC licensing today. Having now seen the signage you’d expect appeals to be ultimately won by PHDs because there is NOTHING that distinguishes this bus lane from other lanes / gates with exactly the same signage where PHVs are allowed in the same Local Authority. To our knowledge this is the ONLY bus lane in the Merseyside region where PHVs aren’t allowed.

PS: Princes Avenue doesn’t meet Upper Parliament St (Princes Rd does)

[LCC LICENSING @lcc_licensing]

A new westbound bus lane has been introduced on Upper Parliament Street between Princes Avenue and Mulgrave Street. Please note that Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs) are not permitted to use this bus lane. Access is restricted to buses, Hackney Carriages (taxis) and cyclists only.

Due to operational demand at Aintree for The Grand National meeting, officers will NOT be present at Great Homer Street Market Thursday 9 April 2026.

Due to rising fuel costs, self-employed drivers operating through Delta are introducing a temporary 20p fuel surcharge to the first mile of each journey, resulting in a total passenger cost increase of 20p per trip. The surcharge is temporary with fares reverting back to usual as soon as pump prices normalise.

VAT ON FARES - A CLARIFICATION

Private hire operators who structure their business as a PRINCIPAL (like Uber) have ALWAYS been required to apply 20% VAT to the fares they supply. Operators who instead structure their business as an AGENT (like Delta) have NEVER been required to apply VAT as the fares are supplied by each individual driver operating through them.

Uber tried avoiding their 20% liability by latching on to a marginal relief scheme that had been introduced solely for Tour Operators. The recent budget put a stop to this so there was no increase in fares or vat added on … VAT had always applied to their business model, they were just made to get back in the correct lane.

[Delta Taxis @DeltaMerseyside]

Please consider pledging to our crowdfunding campaign, to assist with our legal fees in the ongoing Uber vs Delta VAT case to be heard in the Supreme Court this summer. Adding VAT to Taxi fares will increase costs for everyone, some companies will not survive, the vulnerable will be less mobile and many drivers will be forced to leave the industry
