All the drivers are licensed by Mid Sussex District Council who carries out stringent checks on every vehicle on a bi-annual basis. All vehicles are fitted with a council approved meter. In 1956 a local family owned garage based opposite Haywards Heath Station ran a small local taxi service. After receiving an offer they couldn’t refuse from a large national dealership they agreed to sell and so the taxi service was also to cease. The drivers at that time, encouraged by a regular commuter decided to form their own company to maintain a taxi service for the community and to safeguard their jobs, and so Station Taxis was born.
