Train Stations

Station transfers to every mainline UK rail hub.

Rail stations are the hardest places to arrange a car: taxi ranks move, drop-off bays are timed, and platforms change late. Every station page below records where our drivers wait, how long the run takes from the surrounding area, and what happens when a train is delayed or cancelled.

What to expect

We track the train, not the clock

Give us your service and we watch it. If the train runs late the driver waits; if it is cancelled we move the booking to the next realistic arrival.

Pick-up that is agreed in advance

You tell us the door, entrance or bay when you book, and the driver confirms it by message before setting off — no hunting for a car in a queue.

Luggage and connections

Tell us the case and bike or ski count when booking so we send a vehicle with the boot space you actually need for the onward leg.

About train stations

Where the driver waits

Station forecourts are the most restricted pick-up points we deal with. Many have timed drop-off bays, private taxi ranks that only licensed rank holders may use, and separate short-stay car parks for pre-booked cars.

Each station page records the point our drivers use, so you walk to an agreed place rather than looking for a car among a queue of vehicles that cannot legally wait.

Delays, cancellations and platform changes

Give us your train service when you book and we track it. If the train runs late the driver waits for the revised arrival; if it is cancelled we move the booking to the next realistic arrival rather than treating it as a no-show.

For onward connections the same applies in reverse: if road conditions threaten a departure we tell you early enough to change the plan, instead of arriving at the barrier as the train leaves.

Luggage, bikes and sports kit

Rail passengers usually travel with more than airline luggage allows — full-size cases, bike boxes, ski bags, golf travel covers and instrument cases all appear regularly on station runs.

List these when you book. We size the vehicle around the load, which sometimes means an estate or people carrier for two passengers rather than a saloon.

Station to airport transfers

A large share of station work is the link leg: rail into a city, then road out to an airport that has no direct rail service, or the reverse after a late landing when the last train has gone.

Because these legs are timed against a flight, we quote them as airport transfers with the same flight tracking and waiting-time allowance as a home pick-up.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if my train is delayed?
We track the service you give us and hold the driver for the revised arrival time. If the train is cancelled, contact us and we will move the booking to your next realistic arrival.
Where will the driver meet me at the station?
At the pick-up point named on the station page, which is a location where private cars may legally wait. The driver confirms it by message before setting off so there is no ambiguity on arrival.
How is the price worked out?
We quote per journey from the pick-up and drop-off you enter, the vehicle class you choose and any extras such as additional stops or child seats. The figure is shown before you confirm, and it is the figure we hold you to — there is no meter running in the car.
Can I change or cancel a booking?
Yes. Contact us with your booking reference as early as you can and we will move the time, route or vehicle subject to availability. Cancellation terms are set out on our Booking & Cancellation Policy page.
