| Post subject: | The big question - from Leek |
Why is taxi fare between Leek and Stoke Station so expensive? I WOULD be most grateful if any of your readers, or better still local taxi firms, could explain to me why the taxi fare between Leek and Stoke-on-Trent train station is so ridiculously expensive. A recent trip to Milton Keynes, distance 220 miles return on Virgin Trains. cost me £22.50, an absolute bargain in my humble opinion. And yet the return taxi fare from Leek to Stoke-on-Trent was £45 for a 20 mile round trip. How can this possibly be justified? I look forward to hearing from your readers, or better still the guilty parties themselves! Read more at http://www.leek-news.co.uk/why-is-taxi- ... 5zYTGTG.99 |

Why didn't she write to the Council?? Maybe they could furnish her with a table of fares? |

If you booked the entire train for yourself do you think it would have been £22? |
