Default TfL Taxi Consultation to "kill" Uber

Yes, and the results in strange overseas cities can often be very patchy.


True, though London, the city in question, has extremely good coverage,
and I have never had issues finding anywhere I wanted to go on it.
Indeed, it is my primary tool for finding places in London whatever mode
of transport I happen to be using.


Oddly enough have a look for Barbican Underground station on google
maps at the moment - it seems to have migrated 150 yds north...


Not quite. Barbican Station is shown in pretty much the right place, in
between Virgin Active Barbican and Tesco Express. There's a blob marked
"Barbican" 150m north that's apparently for the "Barbican Centre."

What's a bit strange, though is that a search for "Barbican Station"
brings up the Barbican Centre location on a layer that doesn't have the
Station marked at all, either with a small square or with a Roundel.

To get the small-square showing the Underground station you have to
click the words "Underground Station" in the results that show the
Barbican Centre. (At which point the layer displayed doesn't have any
Roundels on it [eg at Moorgate]).

And their facility to "Report a Data Problem" doesn't work because
there's no text to click on.

I wonder where the "Report a problem with the 'Report a Data Problem'
function" is??
