Mr. David McGuinness:

It should not be a part of the transport infrastructure that at the drop of a hat is removed without even talking to the taxi drivers who work there or the organisations involved. We got notification that one of the other prime city centre taxi ranks was being removed for BusConnects. This was a couple of months ago.
