The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Southend-on-Sea is at your door, whether that is the town centre, a Essex village or a business park; the driver is named the day before and texts on arrival. At the station end we drop at the Praed Street or Eastbourne Terrace entrance, whichever your train uses. Returns are met at the barriers, useful for Heathrow Express connections too.
The drive is about 44 miles; your driver checks closures and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.
