About 15 minutes by shuttle from the racecourse to Salisbury station.

What if nobody else books my shuttle?

If nobody has joined you 2 hours before pickup, it doesn’t run and you pay nothing. If you’d rather keep it as the whole vehicle, choose that when you book or on your trip page.

What about luggage, children, wheelchairs and dogs?

There’s room for bags in the boot, and a folding wheelchair fits too: tell us when booking so the driver knows.
