    Taxis after the boat?

    What are they like?

    I tried booking one today but quite a few firms said just ring up earlier that night, which I don't really want to risk doing.

    Has anyone else managed to book one or anything?

    I was alright at 2am for a taxi like, there were plenty waiting outside, jumped into one, and it was only about £6 to walkersgate, not a bad price like.

    I reckon you'll be fine if you do that! But last year we had to get them ordered to Chase over the swing bridge, so not sure what you's should do.

    Some taxis just go off aswell when it's really bad because it's just too dangerous to drive!

    if you want a blueline over new year, and new years day you have to call them and book it half an hour before you want it.

    This is to solve the problem of people booking 2 days in advance and not turning up.

    We tried to get one last night and the lady told us that
