- Official evidence found; detail still to confirm
The October 2022 review distinguishes temporary then-current rates from a further proposal. Temporary tariffs 1–4 started £3.50/£4/£4/£4.50 with 10p per 120/98/100/86 yards; waiting 10p/24 seconds. Tariffs 1/3 used 06:00–20:00, 2/4 20:00–06:00. Proposed replacement was £3.50/£4/£5.50/£6 with 10p per 105/80/70/60 yards. Final decision/current fare card is not recovered, so neither set is represented as today's operative schedule. PHTM September 2026 separately reports a £6 two-mile daytime benchmark, not a complete calculator tariff.
- Mandatory qualifications
- Official route/source found
English assessment, theory training and tests, safeguarding, equality and practical driving assessment are required.
