In my experience of minicabs and tube strikes it's a bit of a pain with traffic but it's a guaranteed earner. Black cabs charge extra while stuck in traffic so should be even better. Those with licenses restricting them to certain ranks might struggle but there were people stood outside my local train station and the rank was empty this morning.I guess it depends, depending on numbers working from home, and not coming into central London at all.

Both outlets are reportedly currently financially unsustainable, with questions over their long-term future. GB News secured funding from a range of overseas investors for its first three years, but one major shareholder, US media company Discovery, is now understood to be looking to exit.
As a result, the company needs new shareholders willing to suck up the cost of running a loss-making, ad-funded channel with a recession looming. Sources at GB News said both its HR director and commercial director have left in recent weeks.
This has led to speculation that Murdoch could choose to cut his losses, buy GB News, and unite the channel with talkTV. He has form for such ruthlessness. In the early 1990s, soon after it launched, he took his heavily loss-making Sky satellite broadcasting service and merged it with the similarly stricken rival British Satellite Broadcasting to create BSkyB.
A News UK spokesperson played down the prospect of such an outcome and said they were happy with the current outlook for talkTV, while GB News said it was not aware of any talks.
Yes you did and it looks like the most likely scenario still as it did thenThis was a possible outcome that I floated on this thread some months ago.

Lorry driver channel?Tuesday 5th (the evening of the Sunak/Javid resignations) GB News had Kate Hoey on the sofa bigging up Boris.
Meanwhile over on the lorry driver channel there was a much more entertaining 2 hour Piers Morgan on acid special which was a bit like darts. Morgan was keeping score of the resignations coming in, with entertaining wise words from Dr Evil - Trevor Kavanaugh political supremo of The Sun.
So how come GB News can't even get the line right as the UK's Premier Neo Fascist TV Station ?
As a son of a lorry driver who ran a business with depots in Birmingham, Bury St Edmunds, Felixtowe and Tooley Street I think I could say "it takes one to know one"Lorry driver channel?
