I'm talking about at the airport putting together pax for Reading, pax for
Woking, pax for Watford etc. This would be routine, not something special
because of a rail strike.

When I was in Atlanta 30 years ago attending trade fairs, the people
policing the taxi rank (don't get me started on the multiple overlapping
'police' forces there) would only let attendees departing at the end of
the afternoon catch a cab if they were prepared to share it to a
destination (which could be the other side of the city).

What was surprising was how many of those attendees who had spent the
entire day being nice to one another thought this an impossibly
uncomfortable request. Another thing I learnt at the time was to never get
a cab whose driver's window was open, because that meant their aircon had
packed up.

As yet I have no indication that this might be done at LHR last week.

Just because you don't know doesn't mean it's not happening.

I know, I am trying to find out if it was.
