What we are wondering is can a driver be both at the same time. That bit of bumph I quoted seems to indicate that a PHV should not have anything on it to imply that it is a taxi.

I got it from here, page 20, section 3.31 "England and Wales Outside London" The document makes it very clear that there must be a distinction between the two and a passenger must be able to identify the vehicle as either a PHV or a taxi. So is it legal to be both?

Google it...........
