I enquired about booking cab from the office to the station one day
and when I got told it would be 18 quid for a 6 mile journey. I
politely declined

I was expecting pre-booking to offer a discount, not in Cambridge it
seems

Where from? Must have been outside the city.

I think he means he expected a discount because of booking ahead at all.

I expected a discount in the same way that I get a discount pre-booking a
contract cab instead of hailing a hackney carriage in other towns.

in Cambridge, it seems, you do not get such a discount

Their loss
