Great news for long journeys from Stockport Station by Taxi. For many years Taxis at Stockporet Rail Station have added a 1/3 surcharge on long journeys. Now a large group of the drivers working from this Station have stopped this practice. They have adopted a simple "smiley face" sticker clearly displayed in the windscreen of the Taxi -cab. Destinations that were commonly surcharged include Hale, Bowden and Altrincham. These journeys will now be charged at the Council controlled meter fares.
