Bring back taxi ranks to within Edinburgh Waverley Station

The Issue

This is a petition calling for a rethink on taxi access at Edinburgh's Waverley railway station. In 2014 taxis were banned from previous taxi ranks within the station, meaning passengers have to leave the station to get a taxi, or be dropped off, on neighbouring streets. Older and disabled people have been expressing concerns about the inconvenience and difficulties they face as a result. Last year the Scottish Parliament’s Infrastructure Committee investigated the issue and concluded it was “essential that suitably located, accessible taxi facilities are available at Waverley.” Despite this no action has yet been taken. We want to demonstrate the public support that exists for the reintroduction of accessible taxi ranks within Waverley Station.
