Ashley Butcher heads to Leicester Train Station to meet local drivers, hear their stories, and find out how the city is changing.

From Leicester's fascinating history and famous landmarks to the challenges facing taxi drivers today, including rising fuel costs, competition from ride-hailing apps, and the ongoing redevelopment of the city, this is a fascinating insight into life on the rank.

Ashley chats with local driver Major, who has spent over 30 years serving Leicester's residents and visitors. Together they discuss the city's growth, tourism, customer service, fuel prices, and the future of the taxi industry.

we spoke with Sinead Gillett from iCabbi on Taxi Talk about exactly that.

Key insights from the conversation:

• How AI is reshaping operations and efficiency
• Why driver loyalty is becoming harder to maintain
• The importance of collaboration between fleets
• What local taxi firms are doing better than global platforms
• Where the industry is heading over the next decade

The big takeaway?

Success isn’t about copying, it’s about strengthening the local advantage.

The private hire industry is changing fast, and the next 10 to 20 years could reshape everything we know about it.

Steve Wright discuss why consolidation is likely to continue, how franchising could shape the industry, and why it may become increasingly difficult for smaller operators to compete on their own as regulations and operational demands grow.

👉 What do you think the private hire industry will look like in 10 –20 years?
