Taxi Drivers Again Being Victimised By TfL. Where Buses Go, Taxis Go...End Of!

Those dropping off passengers at the Grosvenor hotel Buckingham Palace Road,  have been receiving PCNs for stopping on a thick red line. ‬

‪The LCDC have been in Talks with TfL over this situation and have today received this email from  ‬

‪URGENT UPDATE ON GROSVENOR HOTEL - BUCKINGHAM PALACE ROAD PCN TICKETS ‬...

‪Most of you will be aware that PCN’s have been issued for stopping in the bus stop outside the hotel entrance where there is currently a thick red line and signage stating no stopping except buses.‬

‪After many phone calls and emails I can confirm that no tickets will be issued for any vehicles stopping after the first bus stop cage (closest to Terminus Pl) whilst TFL continues to look at solutions. ‬

‪I will update you all further next week, have a great weekend‬

‪Thanks‬

We need this to be sorted out properly, Where Buses Go, Taxis Go. We don’t want to see another situation where we are being restricted in our duty to the passenger to safely take customers from door to door. 

We do not want to be excluded from any kerbside which, as the only fully wheelchair accessible trade in London, would discriminate against disabled passengers.

This situation where we are excluded from kerbsides needs urgent attention from TfL and cannot be allowed to continue. 

More on this next week when we get the next update from TfL.
