I have to disagree with that view. ISTM that there will be very few
passengers of a public transport system who would "prefer" to add a 70 pound
taxi fare onto the end when a simple interchange to a "metro" system (could)
exist.


70 GBP in a taxi from Old Oak would take you to Romford!


Not if you are an American tourist...
