Cab row pick up has always been where it is now. The stage door drop off as it was once known. Or the steps for the later platform numbers. Pick ups could never have been made from the concourse as there was no access. I think you are getting confused with paddington or euston.
I'm sure there's a scene in OFAH when Del meets Raquel for the first time under the clock at W'loo where this is shown......I have approx 30 mins to prove it, or am lumbered paying off the tab!
There is one exit by the costa coffee on the top deck of the station. That is almost at the point if collection at the front if the main rank still to this day.

Correct. The road is clear on that scene when Raquel meets Derek Duval
Yes they did ....When I was a teenager I was running full pelt and didn't see there was a curb, the drop down saw me fall and do my knee in... bastards...

Definitely remember it in Waterloo as a young kid mate. My old man used to work near the Old Vic and when I used to go up and see him I remember the road through the middle of the station.
You can see pretty clearly at around 27' 40" that there are taxis driving through the station.
Some of the footage is staged, inc the prisoners being escorted - but I doubt they would have staged taxis driven through in a background shot, and there are other bits in the film where you can see them
That video looks conclusive to me. I stand corrected. Bit before my time is my excuse. Remember paddington euston and kings x all having ranks next to the trains.
Dunno if this helps but this photo is what Waterloo was like when I moved to London in the mid 80s (photo is a bit user but I distinctly remember the road)
