Bloody Tories! lol

But the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) said it was disappointed with the move.

Bob Oddy, general secretary of the LTDA, said: "Thousands of cab journeys are made from Heathrow every day and the vast majority of those come into London.

"This means we won't be able to use that lane and it will be a great inconvenience to us and to our customers who, if they get caught in traffic, will end up paying more money."
*sob sob.

Good move IMO

Good to see some evidence of common sense at last. Hope it continues.

Yeah I'm crying too mate - one businessman (who wont go on the train/tube) and chooses a taxi is FAR greener than a local in a car innnit!

Never made any sense that lane! Or their logic.

The lane was pointless, but I doubt the traffic will be much better with it gone, there's still the two lane bottleneck at the end.
