One clear instruction
At Woking, save the station side, meeting landmark and approach message before the train arrives.
01 — The station handover
Where the chauffeur meets you at Woking
Your meeting point is outside the main entrance on the Station Approach south side. The relevant route from the train is the main southern exit onto Station Approach. The chauffeur confirms north or south in writing and sends the vehicle details. The chauffeur does not wait in a taxi-only rank or an active loading lane; if the kerb is controlled, the passenger and chauffeur meet first and walk to the car together. Woking is a South West Main Line junction with routes towards Portsmouth and the south west.
For a departure, the car uses the signed station forecourt set-down on the south side. The final approach is via Station Approach, clearly separated from the town-centre north entrance. The chauffeur unloads the booked luggage at a permitted place and leaves the stopping area promptly. The concourse and subway connect the entrance with the platform stairs and lifts. Station signs, road restrictions and staff directions govern the exact point available on the day, so a temporary closure may move the handover to a nearby lawful bay.

03 — Delayed trains and onward roads
Keeping a Woking collection connected
Where the rail operator publishes live running times for the booked service, FCET follows them and adjusts the collection plan for a reported delay. Live rail data does not identify when a particular passenger has reached the concourse, so the passenger still texts after leaving the platform. If no usable running information is published, that message becomes the timing update. The agreed meeting point remains Station Approach south entrance unless both sides confirm a change.
Road guides from the station are 18.2 miles and about 25 minutes to Heathrow, 33.3 miles and about 45 minutes to Gatwick, and 31.3 miles and about 55 minutes to central London. Luton, Stansted and London City are included in the journey links below. These figures are planning guides; traffic, the terminal and the complete destination can change the booked schedule.
04 — Passenger and luggage
The station meeting continues at the car
The chauffeur confirms the passenger and onward address, assists with the recorded luggage and uses the permitted vehicle point stated in the approach message.

07 — Booking the car
What to send for Woking
