Taxis in Paignton Bus Station

Stagecoach are stopping taxis from entering Paignton Bus Station (for full story click Duplicate Bus)

All taxis that enter the bus station do so to drop their passengers at the National Express stop which is the first stop you come to when you enter the bus station. Private cars also enter the bus station to drop passengers off for this service (see photo). Most keep out off the way of our buses but there is the odd one who seems to forget the first rule of driving in a bus station. That is, buses are bigger that cars and will do much more damage to you than you will to them. No, seriously the first rule is don't go in a bus station, any bus station. The second rule is if you do go in to a bus station, then give way to reversing buses.

Instead of banning taxis from coming into the bus station the company could mark out a bay (and there is room) with a sign saying "Drop off Point." in big letters and "Give way to buses at all times." in small letters. Then write to all the taxi firms and ask them always to use this bay in future. Banning them completely is overkill in the name of the new Political Correctness.(1)
