Coronation Street fans have spotted what they see as a major flaw in the latest episode, which saw Tim’s fate confirmed as his family desperately searched for him.
Fans saw a bloodied Tim manage to escape the boot of his abandoned cab on Monday (October 16) after killer Stephen tried to kill him, but he was surrounded by woodland with no idea where he was. Ian made a desperate scramble into his taxi and pulled out the car’s walkie-talkie device to make contact with Peter Barlow, telling him he didn’t know where he was and causing Peter to trigger a police hunt.
But as the police began searching all the woodlands in the area for the car, many couldn’t help but point out that all modern registered cabs have GPS tracking devices in them, meaning he could have been found instantly. “Would they not have tracking on the taxis?” asked one fan on X, formerly Twitter.

“#Corrie are you really telling us that #StreetCars don’t have tracking on the taxis?” penned another. A third said: “So no one at streetcars realises one of their cabs missing. Bet they all have tracking. Dont all taxis have tracking devices? #corrie #coronationstreet” and a fourth added: “Hasn’t Tim’s taxi got gps tracking.” Tim was eventually able to find a passing car and was taken to hospital – but a suspicious comment from Sally in the police station caused the police to suspect Peter killed Stephen intentionally with his car.
