You sure your name isn't Harry Potter? Anyway, transport is a broad church
and the strict definition of taxi is probably known by and of interest to very
few people.

however the tram P&R is good and I'll probably use that again next
time.


The line runs a couple of hundred yards away from my 4th house in the
area.


There are 2 now with the new southern extension to Clifton. Interestingly it
runs on part of the formation of the old GCR which is the only part where it
seems to get up to any decent speed.

Odd how you forgot about the city's largest shopping centre & car park then.


I didn't forget, you still can't get *to* the centre by car. (Although
there's a couple of places you can kiss-and-ride a bit closer than the
Victoria Centre).


When people say they're going to central london it doesn't necessarily mean
they're going to trafalgar square!

Strangely I decided to walk inside the centre, not outside it.


This is like shooting fish in a barrel! One on the left, and two if you
scroll right. Southern entrance in the middle.


I can see one taxi. And its not even a TX.
