you can only do that if it is one fifth of your fleet unless rules have changed in the past few years.
That's what I was told.

you can run an 8 seater no problem. 2 might be a little difficult if you only have a small fleet.

I was misinformed a few years back then because I wanted to do that but was told that I would need a taxi licence and a taxi plated by my local council to use anything not classed as a minibus

apply to your local TC and ask for an 8 seater to be added to your licence.
