Yes, the preferred method is train, cheaper and probably quicker. You only
need a cab if you have a lot to carry.

No, this is too high, the hackney carriage (black cab) should be about £26.

Private hire will be cheaper: try ringing a2b cars on +44 (0)121 733 3000,
they have cars up there all the time (so you shouldn't have to wait too
long) and the cost should be about £13. This is *not* a recommendation.

If you think you're getting ripped off, record the cab's number on it's taxi
registration plate (note: not the vehicle registration).
