    I know this probably comes up a lot, but what are the rules on wheelchair accessible taxis? I've tried the taxi regulators site, but there's bugger all there apart from hopeful thinking.

    The general rule is that you won't be able to get one when you need one. Or if you do, you'll be waiting for an hour or more after the booked time.

    Reality: If you are a wheelchair user, start ringing around 6+ hours BEFORE you need your taxi. (Last 2 times I used one, I spent 8+ hours ringing companies).

    I advise saying somthing like "Im going with some friends so we'll need one of those wheelchair taxi's" rather than saying you use a wheelchair, its a gamble but its quicker even if it means doing it 5 times till one turns up that will actually admit to carrying ramps in the boot.

    The taxi situation in this city is a joke, when it comes to wheelchair, always has been. Best bet, sign up with a wheelchair-dedicated transport company like LDAG or Vantastic.
