02 — The station handover
Where the chauffeur meets you at Wokingham
Your meeting point is outside the main entrance on Station Approach. The relevant route from the train is the main ticket-hall exit onto Station Approach. The approach text confirms Station Approach, the vehicle and whether the chauffeur is at the doors. 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. Wokingham connects the Waterloo–Reading route with North Downs services.
For a departure, the car uses the signed pickup and set-down point outside the station entrance. The final approach is via Station Approach from the town-centre road network. The chauffeur unloads the booked luggage at a permitted place and leaves the stopping area promptly. The ticket hall and lifts connect the entrance with every platform. 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.

Keeping a Wokingham 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 main entrance unless both sides confirm a change.
Road guides from the station are 25.8 miles and about 40 minutes to Heathrow, 50.7 miles and about 1 hour 5 minutes to Gatwick, and 38.9 miles and about 1 hour 5 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.
