Anyone not carrying shopping or luggage and getting a taxi - or even a bus , and without good health reasons, - for less than a two mile journey should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Unfortunatly, there's far too much of it about; every other car on the roads round Accy appears to be the ubiquitous Max or one of it's dubious competitors. So walk - get rid of the fat. It's a simple fact, that despite pleading relative poverty, Hyndburn now has one of the highest obesity rates in the entire country.

Sod the taxis - get out, get those legs moving and burn off the calories and get healthy so then you won't have to whinge next time you have to queue for 4 hours at BRH.

If I use them at all its usually Arrow, it's worth noting that on a recent visit to Ramsbottom my son rang them for a return trip early morning, they went for him, and called again later in the day to give him a fiver that he had been overcharged, he had no idea what he had paid, the driver must have known he was drunk as a mop, but they returned the overcharge anyway, I thought that was pretty good.

I always use Arrow - they're very reliable.

Still Max when in Accy, my sis lives at the top of Willows Lane, if i'm taking my nephew and niece home with Reece on the bus from accy it would cost £2.50 up, it only costs £1.50 in a Max taxi

I have used them twice today and enjoyed the experience immensely.

After explaining why I needed the window down(air freshener), the conversation outward bound was a comparison of views between us two conspiracy theorists - we agreed on quite a lot.

On the return trip I got an ex buddhist monk who threw the smelly thing out the window, then we discussed meditation methods.

If I knew that there were more enlightened people like them about I would def go out more :D

I remember you from your photo, from around 1994 when I taxi-ed for Hyndburn Cars.
I drove a grey ford sierra GLX. I moved back to my hometown & now I am driving for an award winning taxi company in Belfast.
I never forgot Hyndburn Cars for setting me off on the right foot..
I still have my magnetic door shields, (do they still use them?)

Keep her lit

When I come to the Crown Ground by train, I have to get a taxi after the game to enable me to catch my train back to Bristol. Max let me down twice. I have no hesitation in recommending Hyndburn Taxis. Polite - and superb service.
