 Canary Wharf By the time you read this article in Call Sign, changes to the working at Canary Wharf will have been in operation for three weeks and I am pleased to report that the new set up is working very well with all drivers adhering to the booking-in regulations. But I would like to remind those drivers who work the island after 21:00 and who are booked in via E14, that it is no longer necessary for |

you to be inside the security
cordon to book in and accept a trip - unless you choose to be.
That is because after that time, E14C becomes disabled until
06:00 and E14 applies to the whole of the postcode and not just
the Island. Some of you are still going through the security blocks without trips and parking up on the ranks with your lights off. This is causing problems with docklands management and their security because the same rules apply as to those working during the day. If you want to wait for an account trip, then you will need to find somewhere safe to park |
outside the security zone and
book into E14. Any driver who is inside the security cordon without a trip and chooses to park up must do so on a marked rank and their for hire light must be on. Please be aware and make your friends aware that security can ask you to leave the island if this procedure is not followed. It would also appear that the flowerbeds are beginning to bloom - something they have been struggling to do for some time! Keith Cain |

TX4 wedding service in Lebanon! |
|
|
February in Lebanon is famous for a wedding exhibition that
regularly sees huge crowds looking to see the latest trends in
elaborate weddings. Named Wedding Follies, this year’s
event saw between 6 and 7000 visitors each day passing through
the doors of the Beirut
International Exhibition & Leisure Centre, all hoping to see
something that would enhance their big day. The trend for elaborate weddings within the Lebanese wedding industry is booming, as both profits and customers grow. As a result, the Wedding Follies exhibition has become one of BIEL’s biggest successes. |
But one new arrival and something that turned out to be the star
attraction at the exhibition was the London Wedding Service,
a luxurious London TX4 taxi presented by National New Dawn
who are the appointed partner for The London Taxi Company
based in Lebanon. |

Cab Guide course students progress |
|
| On a Sunday in March, students currently studying the Cab Guide course run by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers enjoyed a morning walk around Borough and Bankside SE1. Their Guide for the walk was Kevin Malloy, who holds both a Blue Badge Guide and taxi driver’s licence. The walk showed students this part of Southwark’s literary past, covering sites linked with Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens. |
 The students had recently enjoyed a visit to the Dickens Museum at 48 Doughty Street, the building he lived in from 1837 - 1839. The collection includes letters, pictures, first editions, furniture, memorabilia and lovingly restored rooms. There are regular temporary exhibitions. A new Cab Guide course begins in September… |
