01 — Door to terminal
Reading to Heathrow
Collection is available at Reading station forecourt or a home in Caversham. Junction 11, the eastern A329(M) link and the terminal approach are reviewed before collection. The usual Heathrow route follows the M4 from Junction 11.
02 — On the road
Reading, then Heathrow
A collection at an office at Green Park keeps the passenger count, declared luggage and Heathrow terminal in one plan. The chauffeur leaves Reading after checking conditions, then unloads at the recorded departures point.
