Was interested to see a new taxi stand put up outside my office in
Queen Victoria Street, using a special new blue roundel with TAXI in
the middle where UNDERGROUND normally goes.

Some guy was going around changing a sticker on each one in the City
of London, because apparently there was information on them that
didn't apply to the City or something. He was scraping away at the
sign trying to get the last vestiges of the old sticker off. He
explained it to me but I didn't really follow.

Strange things... and interesting that this has made the taxi more
part of London Transport.

It's not London Transport any more. It's Transport for London, and the
inclusion of taxis in its remit is one of the reasons why the name changed.
The roundel has existed in various forms corresponding with the TfL
functions for several years. See
