I also noticed that it wasn't a photo of Tamworth, not that I know Tamworth Station at all; I've never been there.

But I do know it never rained in Tamworth on the day the photo was taken and in the photo it shows that it had rained recently, with water puddles everywhere.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

In point of fact, no taxi would be standing outside the station, the "rank" has been moved and all of the area outside the station is double yellows (no stopping)

so either she was stopped across the front of ranked-up hacks (on the left) or pulled across the front of a single hack dropping off... which frankly would annoy ANY driver

Looks like she wasn't supposed to be in that area by the looks of the markings, I bet she had a blue badge??

if she "pulled in front a taxi as it pulled out" and it was on the rank in picture you can appreciate the situation, id guess she was on the double yellows in front of the "BUS STOP" markings somewhere
