A water taxi
WATER taxis - known as waxis - have begun  travelling along the Bridgewater Canal in Trafford.
A trial service got underway today, November 7, ahead of a full launch on November 21.
Manchester Water Taxis will run a service from intu Trafford Centre via Old Trafford and Hotel Football, terminating at Dukes 92, Castlefield. The journey will take about an hour.
It will also launch a commuter service from Sale to Castlefield. The waxis will offer refreshments.
Manchester Water Taxis was founded in February 2009 by entrepreneur Steven Cadwell.
He said he decided to use the canals as he got fed up of sitting in traffic jams.
