Yes, the taxis are now ranking up there again because there wasn't the room down at the bottom end of town near Asda House where they've been operating from for the last few weeks. They are now sending three cars around onto the station from the Headrow and three from the Asda House rank. Like I said, one of the issues was the fact there wasn't enough room down the bottom end of town, but pedestrians were also starting to use the Headrow as a proper rank instead of just as a queue. This meant drivers were getting walk on fares and not having to wait to get onto the station.

Nope. Yo momma did.
Oh and you're making me sound like a soft lad. Just because you've put a wink on the end it doesn't mean you haven't hurt my feelings. Bully.

For the immeadiate future I would imagine so yes. However, in the last couple of months there has been about 4 different methods of getting onto the station. None of which have proved all that effective. It won't be sorted until one of a couple of things happen.
1. The council manage to find some land in the city centre which can be used as a feeder rank. Obviously that one is unlikely.
2. The Hackney Carriage manage to get the airport rank back. Which again is unlikely.

Not all are miserable, "Rod Stewart" who does the 12/13 route for example or that short bald fella who merrily sings away full pelt at the front of his bus.
Legends.

The idea of having them queue on Boar Lane, blocking off the right turn to go down under the Dark Arches for buses that use it, must have come from one of those infinite number of monkeys inbetween replicating works of Shakespeare.
The simple solution to hackney carraige overcrowding in Leeds is to reduce the number of licences available.

The only route I can think of that still has conductors is the number 4 bendy buses between Whinmoor and Pudsey.

If you mean stop issuing them I agree.
However, if you mean removing current licences, I disagree.

Do they look like Bob Grant?
Also, following the taxi thread drift....why can taxis use bus lanes?

Because they are a vehicle that is licenced by the local authority? Who knows?
