Birmingham Airport to Worcester City Art Gallery in a Taxi With a 500k Piece of Art
After a rapid 40 minute airline flight from home we arrived at Birmingham international airport right in the heart of one of the most tremendous hail thunderstorms I’ve seen in decades, it was hitting the roof of our airplane that hard I assumed we were likely to see sunlight by way of holes from the roofing at any moment.
Luckily we did not need to clear customs because our flight seemed to be categorised as home-based, so we were spared the honours of the common 20 or so minute queue this time. Everyone headed out via the main exterior doors and strolled straight past an enormous line of air-port airport taxis that were waiting for jobs, right down to the short stay car parking exactly where we’d negotiated for a Worcester Taxi to get us and drive us directly to The Worcester Paintings Gallery.
Our planning to make use of the Worcester taxi airport service instead of jumping in a local cab at the air port, had been that we figured that by hiring the local Worcester taxi, the driver knows exactly where the Art gallery was in Worcester, whereas the The city of birmingham airport transfer driver would probably not have a clue where he was trying to find in the centre of Worcester.
After collecting the actual art work on time, we went outside where we had a Northampton taxi waiting to drive us directly to Delapre Abbey, just outside Northampton. Again, getting a taxi close to our ultimate destination, with the plan that the driver’s local experience will get us directly to the Abbey with no avoidable u turns or excursions.
Utilizing a Northampton Taxi also gave us an opportunity of quizzing the driver and finding a few of the best local dining places to eat in, and also where exactly the very best shopping was.
