Useful Information for Your Journey
Who Is This Transfer Best For?
Door-to-door travel can suit families, groups with several bags, late arrivals and destinations far from a useful station. Travelers with light luggage and a direct rail option should compare both modes.
Travelling with Luggage
Vehicle options show passenger and luggage capacity during booking. Count all suitcases, strollers, and oversized items before choosing a class; a vehicle that fits the passengers may not fit their baggage. Add relevant luggage details during booking and check the confirmation rather than assuming a universal allowance.
Families and Children
Child seats can be requested during booking where shown as available. Select the required seat type and include the child in the passenger count; check any added charge and final confirmation before travel. Do not assume a seat will be supplied unless it appears in the completed booking.
