Used to be a bit sceptical of black cabs but your videos have converted me. The knowledge is awesome. Thanks Tom.
-
the crossing you were discussing is called a pelican crossing and they're being phased out in favour for puffin crossings which use sensors to detect pedestrians wanting to cross, which completely removes the ambiguity
-
I get free public transport travel because of my job in London but there are times when I get black cabs just because I know it is quicker than anything else and more comfy. You can’t knock the knowledge. You’re worth your weight in gold at times, especially when it’s hot on Tubes and buses and you want a more comfortable ride.
-
I echo the sentiments of others on here in saying that your shift videos will be sorely missed especially as a fellow cabbie albeit in another country. Cheers
-
Just sat down to eat my lunch and this Beaty is in my subscribe box. I really like this new format with the time and face cam as it gives a bit more context as to how long and efficient the jobs are.

2. right Launceston Place, left Cromwell Road, left Park Lane, Edgware Road, right George Street, left Montagu Square. 33:07: through the underpass, forward Shaftesbury Avenue, forward Gower Street. bosh.
-
I think one of the delights of using a black cab in London is that it will turn into a bit of a magical mystery tour, not knowing which way your driver will choose to go. As of course there are so many possible permutations, when you factor in road closures and traffic congestion etc.

@TomtheTaxiDriver im a belfast taxi driver and anytime i cant be annoyed going into work i put one of your videos on and before i know it im in the car cracking on so a massive personal thanks as your videos give me motivation.
-
People who know what they are doing make it look easy …the knowledge is priceless
-
I love to see your passion for the job as you tell us about your day. Incidentally it was great seeing you go pass the Greenland buses several times, which I used to drive! Thanks for taking us on the ride.
-
Thank you for these videos! Excellent as always, super interesting to watch and really enjoy understanding your knowledge and driving thought process. Big respect to you.
-
Another great video Tom! I don't think I've been to any other city, in the UK or abroad, that matches London in terms of things constantly changing - I applaud you having to keep up with it all every day!
-
Nice changes to the formate, face cam was a nice personal touch plus liked the speedy and slow tags
-
Back with another insight into a day in the life of Tom the Taxi driver, thanks Tom, interesting as usual.
-
Great video, the addition of the journey time and if it’s fast/normal/slow is a great addition
-
Gawd i remember that day, traffic was a mare. West london still is a mare, so many parallel roadworks 🚧 in knightsbridge.
-
Another great video as always, and the editing just keeps getting better and better! Well done!
-
Great video Tom. Love this style of shift video. Keep them coming!
-
Brilliant Tom! Thanks for this! ✌️❤️ as always
