A taxi driver was tragically found dead in his car at Heathrow, as dozens of desperate cabbies sleep inside their vehicles in the hope of picking up a fare at deserted terminals. It is thought he may not have been found earlier because taxi drivers are facing extra-long wait times at a feeder park near the airport. Today, drivers could be seen dozing in make-shift bedrooms inside their cabs - some with mattresses and insulated material placed against windows for warmth. But, he explained, travel restrictions had made their waits longer. This morning, around 150 vehicles waited at the feeder park with drivers hoping to be called to the ranks at arrivals.
