I got a taxi to airedale hospital for my booster, I hadn't enough cash so I was taken to a cash machine first. I'm disabled the driver was so helpful and we talked most of the way. He then waited for me to make sure I got home safely. How much more can a taxi do for you. He was brilliant, hope to see him again soon

Really enjoyed our meal at this cafe. My friends and I had lovely lovely food. My friends tried vegan options which they don't normally order and were so impressed. My toast was tasty, very good size and filling. My chai latte was very mild in taste, I would have liked a little more spices but still good. Friendly staff, up for a joke, we paid separetaly by card and cash (it is hard when places wont let you split the bill). Dogs friendly, good for families too (they have high chairs). The pastries are very nice too (bought vegan cinnamon swirls before and they are huge). We will go back.

Would just like to take this opportunity to commend one of the drivers of Station Taxis Skipton; I didn't manage to get a name. Though I did not use their services, I had broken down last Sunday and the driver finished his job and came to help me out by jumpstarting my car. What was even more refreshing was the fact this chap wouldn't accept any money. Whoever you were, I appreciate it, and will certainly be booking you in future! Cheers

My van broke down and I had to get a hotel for the night. Station Taxis had a lovely clean car to me in no time. The driver was courteous and friendly and I thought the price of the journey was fair. Thanks.

Such a pleasant experience. A trip to the Middlesbrough immediate return after collecting a spare car key. The driver Shahban was so pleasant and helpful, made me feel very comfortable. Such good value for money. I would definitely use this company again and happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you Station Taxis, thank you very much.
