Popped my Oxford Street cherry, blue line was the old route, red line was the new route. Couldn't use great Marlborough as it was shut. Route was ok, Vere Street junction could do with longer on red to get things moving a little but overall, seen it worst. Let's see next week😈

Charing cross, 5pm and so far managed to avoid any chaos that may have resulted from Oxford Street closure. I'm going to try and stay optimistic that it'll be a success. Random pic of two cabs in front of me while I'm waiting 😁

Its going to be tent city. Try being a woman at night trying to hail a Taxi? You either have to go away from the main road down side streets even to get a bus, or walk past the junkies and the drunks and scummy men. It will be just them at night. Great. Watch the crime and the tents increase.

I think I'll start taking pictures of the roads around Oxford Street now such as Mandeville place, Welbeck st etc so I can do a before and after when the usual suspects come on here to defend the closure and try to insist it hasn't had an affect. 😁😋😜🎣🤪😋😁

Harewood Avenue is a complete car park. Where exactly is the improvement? At least give vehicles a decent amount of time on the green FFS and get it moving to an acceptable level.

Interesting vid by @London_Centric with regards the ice cream wars in London. youtu.be/UQ63ee4sJMQ?is=sHfD… I see even @Taxi_Point gets a look in around 2mins 25. We see these guys hanging up everywhere with no enforcement, imagine one loaded up with explosive!

Had a great day out with friends and decided to finish the evening with an old fashioned in the Hari Hotel. I'm always outside the place, often use the loo so it's nice to come in as a guest and enjoy the bar.

Do I really need to get out of my cab at Euston and explain to a driver to use the second lane as everyone is queuing behind him into the drop off area 🤦🏻

Afternoon all, I'm producing custom made signs for taxi drivers if anyone is interested in getting one. I've sold quite a few so they seem popular, they're easily removable for overhaul etc and look better than a bit of laminated paper. If you're interested, send me a DM.

Shortage of cabs, no new cabs, no work, work not being covered, plenty work, garages have cabs, can't buy a new cab, can buy a new cab etc etc. Good to see in nigh on 29 years there are some things in the taxi trade that haven't changed. 😂
