Don’t feel pressured to re-issue old content. You’re an interesting guy, go do the content you want to do, we’ll still watch. Hopefully you’ll take this as constructive feedback, not a moan. 😊
Tom maybe following the new trend for longer format videos. A lot of recent advice is to do this. If the algorithm promotes it, and Tom’s viewers watch it, then a little more money and promotion for him. Worth a try. So best of luck for him. 👍
Lots of people missed various parts of it, or couldn’t find a particular day so I thought I’d put it all into one. Also… wanted to try long format as @soothesound states, lots of viewers said relaxing on TV was their preferred way of watching so this might be an interesting pivot 🙏🏻
Although I've watched each of these shift videos separately multiple times, it's nice to get them in one video. Will be grand for getting to sleep 😀 Thanks Tom
Blimey Tom you really do drive the same routes over and over. I must have watched enough of your shift videos that even I know these routes now. The knowledge by osmosis lol.
A greatly enjoyable two and a half hours! Talking of Glaswegians, it is said that if you visit them in the afternoon they will say come in and have some tea, whereas in Edinburgh they will say come in you will have had your tea!
I used to have a newsagents in South East London (just past Lewisham so you wouldn't know it 😉) and could tell the Marlborough Light, Sovereign, Silk Cut and Benson smokers, before they even got through the door. Cheers, mate, great channel. I also used to drive around London, and the routes and location you mention brings back memories 👍
Listened to you on the Happy Hour Podcast, thought I would check you out. Not sure what makes me sit here watching this video but I cant turn it off haha. You sound like a top bloke.
Great video, as always, Tom! I thought you had said in a previous video that you weren’t going to be doing shift videos like this any longer. I guess you changed your mind?
HIHI Tom, love the videos! Please correct me if I'm wrong...but if you're travelling East on Upper Thames Street and want to go onto Southwark Bridge, could you not go past Southwark Bridge and filter immediate right to turn onto Bell Wharf Lane (where the City's refuse lorries go as well as the Little Ship Club and the NCP Garage is) then do a U Turn, which is perfectly legal there and then turn left heading West on Upper Thames Street and immediately turn left onto Southwark Bridge itself?
If Oxford Street becomes pedestrianized what will you do? Just curious do you ever get clients who ask for shopping area and have you pick them up after a certain time to continue home or elsewhere? I didn't think I would sit all the way through but I did and learnt a few things thanks Tom :)
best kind of video for watching, at 1hr, 2 mins 30secs missing the other half of the story where it cuts to black and carries into something else sadly
I guess if you're in Central London, the majority of trips are contained mostly in Central area and fairly predictable or variations of familiar routes etc. Ho often do you get further out to edge of London boroughs and are these more testing to your geographical knowledge / memory of road names etc?
Fantastic. Loved that music at 26:00.............my type of music Plus the song at 40:00 and 42:00 ............. could go on and on, but I am a music lover, artist and collector, so.

At 3 minutes. Whys should you have to give the job to a taxi on the rank. The customer is not on the rank. Its on your side of the road. Thats your job surely
I’ll be honest your taxi shifts were really relaxing/entertaining… I unsubscribed because of that reason. Hopefully, you can do a vid every now and then
Absolutely brilliant. There's something in my brain that gets tickled when someone lists names of streets. I love history and geography

No whats the point of rewatching old content
I love theys long formats videos there pretty relaxing to watch
Just don’t then… it’s not hard
Favourite style of video. Ive seen so many driving in london videos, yet every video there are streets ive never seen before.
Although I've watched each of these shift videos separately multiple times, it's nice to get them in one video. Will be grand for getting to sleep 😀
Thanks Tom
When I’ve got a 3 hour flight coming up and I’m looking for a video to download to watch… thank you Tom! Perfect timing
Love the combination of snippets of history and journeying around.
Blimey Tom you really do drive the same routes over and over. I must have watched enough of your shift videos that even I know these routes now. The knowledge by osmosis lol.
Tom: I’m never doing shift videos again
Also Tom: drops a full week of shifts for us 😅😅
Well, he just made one video of the 5 shift videos he posted two years ago. (I needed one or two deja-vus to recognize) 😂
Took me until the wheelchair user in Westminster to realise!
Always got to smile when I'm walking over Albert Bridge . Many cars have hit their mirrors on that width restriction.
As a taxi driver I love watching these videos and having it on in the background
Love journeying around London with you find it really relaxing
A greatly enjoyable two and a half hours! Talking of Glaswegians, it is said that if you visit them in the afternoon they will say come in and have some tea, whereas in Edinburgh they will say come in you will have had your tea!
really appreciate this new video concept Tom, great work
Loved this montage. It felt like I was eating the video.
my evening is sorted!!!
This is great I will watch this for 5 nights at 1 shift at a time
2.5 hours - wow! I'll be watching this video in shifts over the week! Thank you, Tom, for this marathon editing effort!
Came over from the Happy Hour Podcast and what a gem they’ve come across. Been obsessed with your vids since ✌️🫡

Love your happy hour episode hope you’re well
I love these vids. Thank you for doing another one for us
I got super excited at the end of Wednesdays section. You went past my house 🎉
love this shift video many more of these to come hopefully
During my cabbie career, it was verboten for Private Hire to use any rank.Thats the whole point as you know,appointment only.
Love this video format!
The St P renaissance main entrance was in fact the old St P taxi rank, you exited onto Midland Rd via a twisty ramp.
1:34:20 - Isn't that a portrait of Ross Kemp with Ethel's dog WIlly? ;)
Damm brooo just over a 2hr shift video niceeeee
Edited.... love theys long format shift videos Tom
Great choice of Podcast... Rob Moore is great!
Keep looking out for you at the Liverpool Street taxi rank
2 and half hours. Blimey....
Thanks for this
This must be very old since at 1:52 you can see the 521 bus route, which was discontinued in April 2023
Yes… this a montage of old shift videos from 2022
Good stuff, binching this.
Listened to you on the Happy Hour Podcast, thought I would check you out. Not sure what makes me sit here watching this video but I cant turn it off haha. You sound like a top bloke.
Took me a couple days but watched it all
That bike crash. Damn
Great video, as always, Tom! I thought you had said in a previous video that you weren’t going to be doing shift videos like this any longer. I guess you changed your mind?
Great video tom, what time did you finish that shift on the Friday?
Just to add 14:40....I'M SICK OF OUTLAW CYCLISTS IN LONDON. Honestly! Something needs to change!

How do you 5 days in 1 week, it's so stressful working now ..
Fantastic.
Loved that music at 26:00.............my type of music
Plus the song at 40:00 and 42:00 ............. could go on and on, but I am a music lover, artist and collector, so.
Thank you for the background noise Thomas
I heard Thursday is the new Friday 👍
Tom, what is the problem with someone wanting the air con on max if that's what they want. Why does it seem to bother you mate.
Do taxi drivers have to pay the congestion charge
You've probably been asked this a million times before, but I'm new here; How often do you get asked for 221 B Baker Street?
is it actually worth becoming a cab driver in London ? money wise
london is just a mini pakistan. You will probably be the victim of an acid attack on your first shift
Sorry Tom,love your vids but can't deal with the background music.Im guessing AI adds it later?
Least you stop at red lights
Hi Tom you are doing a great job 😊👍 Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery up the walsall
Senate House, isn’t that where Bertie Wooster lived in the TV series?
I’ve seen all this before
This will be your most watched video by a mile.
You have seriously got to let the runs go on longer. The cuts are too short.

That’s very old video
Do you not think he knows that? He has explained why he’s done it….
First ❤
I like your videos but sound effects are way too loud and jumpscare me with headphones lol
Too long and a repeat - wtf !!
