    I cannot recommend ECPH highly enough. 6 of us (3 couples) travel to Musselburgh Races every June…read morefor the last 3 years and stay at the Best Western Kings Manor. We've always used ECPH and I book via the App a 6 seater car to take us too and from the races then another to take us to and from a restaurant later that evening. The cars have always been on time, the communication via text is excellent and the drivers are courteous and professional. On our last visit our friends were late arriving and the driver was happy to wait 10 minutes for them. Excellent service every time and will use them again!

    To be honest I thought most cab services were the same, but this is the only one I have been…read moregenuinely impressed with. I mean you'd be surprised how hard it is to get from A to B without going via C,D,E and then Falkirk because the cabbie wants to wring an extra couple of quid out of you. Fear this no more though, as Edinburgh City Private Hire are here, like a superhero arriving to save the day...in a cab. They have cheaper rates than both City Cabs and Central Taxis by quite a bit, and although most cab journeys in Edinburgh don't last very long, if you are heading out of town they save you a fair amount. As well as this they actually turn up when they say they will, whether you want them in half an hour, or more impressively if you say you want one right away, they are always there within 5 minutes. The cabbies are all pretty cool from my experience as well, having a bit of a chat with you. Also all the cabs are good cars, a few mercs and audis and the like being used. If you are stuck without a lift, who're you gonna call??? Edinburgh City Private Hire!! (admittedly not as catchy but more practical than Ghostbusters). Oh yeh, as a rather inexplicable extra, if you get one of their cards, you get 30% off entry at Cab Vol and half price and queue jump at The Hive before 12. No idea why but not a bad bonus to have

    These taxis have been a lifesaver for me. I shall, embarrassingly, expand on the story…read more... It was a cold, winter's night around about half past three. In the morning. I was a lonely, innocent girl stranded in a far, far away land. Still, where exactly this land was, remains to be confirmed... Said, young, lonely girl was not feeling too bright. It's thought that somewhere along the way from getting wined and dined she had been attacked in the form of tequila and Jager bombs. As awful as this was, the story gets worse - intake of breath please. I WOKE UP in a strange land, jumped off of a moving bus (once it had stopped moving) and fell upon the kindness of a Great Western Taxi driver. A tiny fortune later (for this land was further away than you could image), I was tucked up in bed hiding my face in shame. The moral of the story is: do not drink that much and do not fall asleep on the night bus home. However, IF you do, you'd better hope one of these beauties happens to be passing by and rescue you.

    Lewis' recount is pretty accurate…read more If you're in the west end, and travelling further west or into town, they're great. Friendly, quick, and efficient. If you're in the city centre and are looking to be picked up, however, they're not quite so excellent. When it's busy, in particular, they can leave you hanging for quite some time. Be prepared to call back at regular intervals to make sure they've sent a car for you, and suck it up! A friend of mine has this problem pretty often and has been stuck in the cold waiting for an hour and a half at times. Once I was with her - and once was enough for me! Overall, a good service in the local area. Further afield and when it's busy, though, altogether less dependable.

    For most people new to Glasgow, "The Drum" is considered a bit of a no-go area. During my bleak few…read moremonths living in nearby Knightswood, this was one of the many distant train stations I'd hike to in order to avoid the smell of Tesco's extra strong lager and jobseeker's allowance on the bus. Perhaps surprisingly, the station is surrounded by what I could only call "aspirational" housing, including some incredibly large Victorian numbers, and is in a fairly quiet area a good bit away from the less welcoming 50s / 60s embodiment of Drumchapel. As you'd expect, several trains pass each hour and 15 minutes should see you into town.

    Chaffinches and blue tits singing in the nearby sycamore trees greeted me as I alighted at…read moreDrumchapel station. As if there could be a bigger possible contrast, I soon noticed a group of neds horsing around in the waiting room of the opposite platform, on this dark weekday afternoon (whatever happened to a thing called school, or work?). Drumchapel is served by trains between Balloch and Dalmuir to the west, and Glasgow Queen Street/Central, Drumgelloch and Larkhall to the east. The trains pass stop by roughly every 15 minutes. There is also a regular bus service that stops right at the entrance to the station - very useful. These are the, very frequent, no. 9's for the most part. There is a ticket office at Drumchapel and the new blue ScotRail colour scheme certainly brightens up the station's somewhat dilapidated appearance.
