The cc is a condition of fitness, so if your machine is not working your cab should not be working, so why didn't tfl stop all cabs from working when visa & mastercard went down? CORRUPTION TO THE CORE.

It's time this trade had 1 union to represent it we should start a campaign to get it done with one voice we are strong. 1 union only

Well if u wanted 2 get rid of the turning circle from the cabs think again, travelling E//B on Euston Rd Camden Council insist that we turn right Upp Woburn Pl then do a U turn, also they will not change the no Left turn sign into Churchway. Welcome to lunatic London.
