The anchor from the Cunard cruise liner Queen Elizabeth 2, will officially be unveiled tomorrow evening at 6pm during a ceremony outside the Holy Rood Church in the High Street, Southampton where the anchor has now been installed.

The anchor will form part of the QE2 Mile, a walk that runs from the Cenotaph down to Town Quay.

If you would like to take a look why not hop into one of the white Southampton Hackney Taxis found in the city centre, one of our drivers will be happy to take you there.

An interesting campaign has been set up to highlight the risk of using unlicensed taxis in Derbyshire.

The travelling general public in Southampton need to feel safe and secure at all times.  All Southampton Licensed Taxis have a corporate colour of White

In the year 2000, a Transport Package was introduced by Southampton City Council to promote public safety.

Having a corporate colour enables customers to identify a Southampton Taxi and gives our City a better image !

Also included within this package was the ability to have 35% of advertising on a vehicle, so even if a taxi has sign writing on it - feel safe to get in, as long as the red licensed plate is on the back of the cab and the driver is displaying his licence badge.  See southamptontaxis.org for full details.....................

We would like to thank Peter and Sue from www.focalstrategy.com -  Our website has been live for one week. 

Hopefully a busy weekend for everybody concerned  -

Our white taxis are easily recognised around Southampton City - look for the white sign on the roof, and the red Hackney Carriage licence plate on the back.

Our member taxi drivers provide taxis for all kinds of journeys including the famous London Taxis, multi seater (MPV's) with disabled access which can take up to 7 people, luxury saloons and efficient hybrid Taxi cars.
