[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 634782, member: 256551"] I don't remember it being that expensive, though I haven't been up town for a few years. I'm about 40 mins by train to London and the cost is approx £22 for a Travelcard for the day. If commuting for work, you'd buy a season ticket, it works out cheaper. Pretty sure taxis would be far more expensive than that. The London black cabbies have to do the 'Knowlegde' , this means learning their way around London without a map, they are tested on their knowlegde before they get their licence, takes 2 to 4 years apparently. Innteresting, there was a Black cab driver about 30 years ago, who appeared on the TV quiz 'Mastermind' and won it. (Fred Housego). I remember watching it.:eek: [/QUOTE]
