Children’s Magical
Taxi Tour To
Disneyland Paris


The 10th annual trip set sail to France, on Friday 12th September and returned on Sunday 14th September 2003. Ninety-one Taxis converged around Canary Wharf from 7am on the Friday, ready for the big send off. Cab drivers and volunteers helped transport almost 200 children, on the 3 day-magical journey of a lifetime, bringing smiles and joy to each of their faces.


Alongside the ninety-one taxis in convoy were Metropolitan Police escorts, London Ambulances, and the Automobile Association on hand just in case their help was required.

This year's event was sent off by Alderman Sir David Howard. Sir David had the honour of cutting the ribbon, as pictured below alongside Mr John Sheen - Beadle of the Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers. Another familiar face supporting the event for the second year, was televisions' Tommy Walsh of BBC1's Ground Force programme.

Company and trade representatives were present, many sponsoring the event, as were Cygnus Taximeter Rentals, who supported the event for the second year in a row. As well as sponsoring a cab, Cygnus staff handed out party bags containing sweets for each of the children. The Cygnus cab was driven by Mr Michael Range of Wallington, Surrey.
