Taxi Marshal Feedback

"I just wanted to tell you how impressed with the Taxi Marshalls I was last Saturday night. I was with friends in Sportsters and left early (being the lightweight that I am) and was on my own walking from Sportsters to the taxi rank. One of the marshals saw me crossing the road towards the taxi rank on my own and walked to meet me – asked me if I was needing a taxi and led me past a group of guys to a taxi. It made me feel really safe as I have to admit when I saw the group of guys standing at the corner I wasn’t looking forward to having to walk past them on my own – so I can't thank them enough - I was really impressed. I have used the taxi marshal service in the past but this had been the first time I was on my own and really appreciated the difference it makes!"
