Mine too, and it wasn't just cabs on that road. *I often used to drive
down the ramp from Bishop's Bridge, park on the road between platforms 8

I did that once in the mid-1970s, driving my VW Beetle to meet my
girlfriend off a train from Bristol, but I think by the late 1970s it
was taxis only.

Was driven through there in the mid/late 80's, though that doesn't
mean it wasn't supposed to be taxis only! (Can't recall if it was or
wasn't.)


I have a habit of ignoring vehicle restrictions and have ended up in
all sorts of strange places as a result - mainly bus stations. ;-)

I suppose the IRA bombing campaign against London targets would have
done a lot to change traffic arrangements such as that at Paddington.
Sadly, the Islamist threat that replaced it makes it all the more
important to keep road vehicle flows out of stations. :-(
