South Cambs is a collection of what we call "necklace villages" and

Arguably Whittlesford station would most likely merit a taxi rank. There
might be one of the station forecourt of course. That would be
non-statutory.

NRES says: "Details of nearest taxis are shown on station information

Quite. And we don't know if the driver was using that as a private
car at the time. I could just about believe that, if a taxi driver
were in the vicinity during rush hour, he might drop by to see if
anyone wanted one, but Whittlesford is near-deserted at other times.
Almost all regular users are commuters, who almost never use taxis
(in the sense of looking out for one plying for hire).
