- you are prepared to use it on the same terms as the existing licence holder.

- The application may specify only up to the total number of vehicles already specified at the operating centre(s) of the ‘donor’ licence.
- Any conditions that apply to the operating centre(s) concerned are transferred with it, and any undertakings must be repeated by the new operator. Conditions and undertakings cannot be amended at the time of application.
- The site of the operating centres should not be shared with another operator licence holder.
