Wheelchair accessible taxi service

Hi all,
I’m a Londoner and will be travelling to Bletchley station to go to the MK Arena for wah on Saturday. Does anyone know of any taxi companies that offer a wheelchair accessible taxi with a ramp to help me get to the arena from the station and also back to my hotel after the event. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

A good chunk of the black cabs outside the station are accessible - but that won’t help on the way back.

I will try and get a business card or something off of the driver that takes me there if working late. Good to know that taxis are available right near the station so thank you so much.

With the event on as bletchley is a small station you may be better going to milton keynes central - its a bit further away but has a massive taxi rank. You can get on the train from bletchley on the way back so long as you get a london northwestern ticket. That said there are nicer and faster avanti trains (when they show uo on time!) to mkc that dont stop.

Try to pre book if you can, my (probably outdated) experience is that skyline struggle severely when there's high demand, which is possible after an event. Wouldn't be out of the question to have to wait for over an hour.

Thank you for the heads up, I was planning on pre booking as I thought I would have high wait times anyway, London is just as bad unless you’re in central London

Skyline are usually very reliable. However, they (& I think all taxis, to be fair) struggle with big events at MK Stadium because they shut some of the roads to allow people out of the car parks. This means that the rest of the roads nearby are gridlock and taxis can't get through.
Not sure if they'll close the roads for this event at the Arena, but it may be worth checking, as I'm not sure what you'd do in the above situation.

Skyline taxis (01908222111) are very good and have a great range of WAV
I hope you enjoy your visit
Good luck

Hey! We use Skyline and Bolt (the latter depending on if the discounts make it cheaper than Skyline).
