When taxi drivers were laid off during Covid they found jobs as delivery drivers with more sociable hours never to return to taxi driving resulting in a shortage of drivers.
23 Taxi to Newcastle Airport is now £58, the price goes up when fuel costs go up but never come down again, the reason given is insurance and the Council permits have increased in price ?

Think 860860 were a taxi firm, when I lived in the town many moons ago.
Might be worth a try- they were based in Church Street - though could be wrong?

all taxi companies have the exactly the same problems across the country. however there are big variations on the charges they make from town to town and it cannot be all to do with supply and demand.
