Give the bloke a minute, he only got elected last week! 
He reiterated his promises today (Evening Standard) after a meeting with Bob Oddy and Stuart Pessock. There will be a taxi trade rep appointed onto the TFL board. (Did you read that Terry?  )

We'll have to wait and see, it's very early days, there's another 4 years to change things. |

I think he is busy at the moment getting rid of Ked's hangers on, both deadwood and corrupt versions. 
Mr GBC will just have to wait a week or two for the call.

Seems he wants to save drivers a few quid, and a six month check.

I said years ago that there should be a rep from the taxi trade on the TFL board, as should the buses/couriers/royal mail/fire/police/ambulance/aa/rac. It makes sense that the people who use the roads should have some input. |

Dunno. Someone like Bob Oddy or Brian Rice from DAC would be nice. Just hope it's not an LTI owned rep or Geoff Riesell. |

Has he only been talking to the LTDA? Hope it's not Big Fat Geoff, we'd be better off without anyone on the Board. |
