One-in-five private hire vehicles in England, such as Ubers and minicabs, have obtained licences from Wolverhampton City Council, where they are cheaper and less stringent than in other parts of the country.

Having been dropped off in Haringey, the prosecution say the couple then ordered a minicab to Portsmouth.

Black hackney cabs are meant to be the only cars you can hail on the street, but the app technology and smartphones changed that and meant people started "e-hailing" minicabs.

TfL says it acts against minicab drivers who refuse to take guide dogs.

He predicts a rough road ahead for the minicab company he works for.
