Mileage claim on split journeys

Doesn't the Taxi fare incorporate some of the costs of returning to the rank?

Honestly, not sure. Not an expert in taxi fares (small print is always blurry) but I do know it's costly at times

I know how expensive they can be. It costs me £1.35 to get to Heathrow Central Station by Bus from where I live (and no more than £2.70 to get to Terminal 5) - Each Way, but £15 to £20 by Taxi from where I live One way, and then anything upwards of £20 to get home by Taxi. But it's a case of supply and demand.

It's not cheap, and it covers more than just 45p per mile and a wage.

I see your point, but our argument is that the return journey by the spouse is a direct result of the workers trip to the station and therefore forms part of the whole trip.

But the spouse does not have to make the round trip journey so therefore is not wholly and exclusive. He could drive to the train station and leave the car there until Friday (ignoring obvious Chav issues!) or the wife could wait at the train station from Monday to Friday and then drive back with him (never going to happen). Does the wife driving home after dropping off the employee count as part of journey that relates to the employee attending a temporary workplace? It doesn't! It can be argued that the journey from the train station to home which the wife makes alone is classed as private travel since neither places (train station or home) are the employees workplace and that journey is not one that has to be made for the worker to perform his duties at that workplace (agreed the journey from home TO the train station has to be made in this scenario) S338(5) ITEPA 2003

You just wait a couple of month when the olympics are on. Better sign up to a Boris bike or invest in some Salomon walking boots!

Boris bike

That counts as swearing. I'm surprised Admin hasn't got a Swear Filter on those 2 words.

I don't mind crowded trains that much these days, if people want to smell my BO, they are welcome to.

You won't be allowed to use them on the motorway so can't get to the airport on one of them.

Wonder if they have one for the UK The worldwide hitchhikers agency: go hitchhike for a cheap or free holiday

Other hitcher hiker guides are available - just not sure they're as wacky as our European counterparts!
