Paddington Station Transfers
Paddington is the London station for trains from the west of England and South Wales – Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Oxford, Reading and Cornwall – and the London end of the Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line to Heathrow. A private car is the alternative when you travel with a lot of luggage, as a family or a group, or to an airport the train does not serve.

Car or train to Heathrow?
For one person with a small bag, the train from Paddington is quick. A private car makes sense with more luggage, children or a group: one fixed price for the vehicle, door to terminal, no changes and no carrying cases along platforms. For Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City there is no direct train from Paddington.
Pickup at the station
Put your train and arrival time in the booking notes with a phone number; the meeting point at Paddington is in your booking confirmation.
Vehicles
A sedan takes four passengers and three large suitcases, a First Class Sedan the same in a quieter car, a van six passengers and four large suitcases, a First Class Van six and five, and a minibus up to 16 passengers and 10 large suitcases.
