Meadway was one of the first Private Hire Operators
to be licensed with the Public Carriage Office.

Operator Licence: 520

Licensing of the private hire trade was first introduced outside London in 1976. The Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998 has extended similar provisions to the Greater London Authority area, bringing it in line with the rest of England & Wales. The Government delegated the task of licensing London's private hire trade to Transport for London (TfL). The Public Carriage Office will carry out day-to-day licensing on behalf of TfL.

The purpose of regulation is to give passengers confidence, when they use a licensed private hire operator, that they are dealing with an honest, professional organisation with reliable drivers and safe vehicles.
