Tony's right. Learn the streets and do it properly.
And don't sink all your dough into this until you know what your getting into. The taxi game is really tough at the moment.

Do it a chunk at a time, and then go back over the old chunks when doing the new ones.

Your CRB will take weeks/months, so there really is no short cut.

I heard a rumour that some people are sneaking there phones in to the test with them and using the Sat Nav on there phones to pass the test, if the Cabs Enforcement officer reads this he might be a bit more observant during the test, but as i say it's only a rumour it could be some one talking rubbish after a few pints [-X
