Manchester Piccadilly. Manchester's main station, Avanti and TransPennine services. For station pickups, our driver waits in the official taxi rank or the nearest available stopping point and meets you on the concourse outside the platforms holding a name board with your booking name. For drop-offs we deliver to the departures or arrivals entrance with sufficient time to clear ticket barriers, find your platform, and board comfortably.

For rail-coordinated taxi transfers, we work to your train's departure or arrival time. For arrivals from delayed trains, our driver waits without charge for normal delays.
