The second of the 2013 summer concerts takes place in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP) tonight and it is expected to be busy. Last night there was a high demand for taxis and with the Tube finishing earlier tonight we’re expecting more people will want to use taxis or pre-booked private hire vehicles.
Below are the details of the taxi and private hire arrangements for this evening.
Taxis
Thank you to all of the taxi drivers who worked the Meridian Square taxi rank last night. The arrangements will be the same for this evening with marshals at the rank from 21:00and a feeder rank operating in Station Street.
Last night people in International Way, near Stratford International Station, wanted taxis but none were available at the new taxi rank. Taxis can pick-up in International Waytonight and one of the main exits from the concerts goes past the new rank.
The rank in International Way is open all day and can be reached from Montfichet Road. As you travel south along Montfichet Road towards Westfield, International Way is the right turn before Hitchcock Lane.
Private Hire
A marshalled private hire pick-up point for private hire vehicles that have been pre-booked will operate tonight. This is on International Way, behind Stratford International Station. Please note access will only be granted to vehicles that have evidence of a pre-booking.
Access to the pick-up point is from Montfichet Road and drivers should go along International Way, past Stratford International Station and Stratford International DLR Station and the pick-up point is on the left hand side. The marshals will be checking drivers have a booking so please make sure your drivers can confirm the name of their passenger and destination.
The TPH compliance team will again be in the area tonightto undertake random checks on drivers and to detect and deter touting.
