What it feels like to ... BE A GLASGOW TAXI MARSHAL

I’VE been a taxi marshal for nine years. It’s a lot easier now than when I started. Glasgow Taxis launched the scheme in 2006 or 2007. Getting the great Glasgow public used to the concept of “You have to wait in a queue” was an interesting challenge at the beginning.

The rank at Central Station and the one at The Garage in Sauchiehall Street were the two city centre ranks that people tended to avoid because you had this element saying, “I’m not waiting in any f ****** queue”.
