What about luggage, children, wheelchairs and dogs?
Each person tells us when booking whether they’re bringing a suitcase or just hand luggage, and shared shuttles here take at most 6 people, so there’s room in the 8 seater.

We don’t provide child seats, please bring your own.
•
A folding wheelchair fits in the boot: tell us when booking so the driver knows.
•
Assistance dogs only, please: no other animals.
What if nobody else books my shuttle?
It still runs: we hold the price for you plus one other person, £46.75, and if nobody has joined by 24 hours before, we ask whether to keep it for the whole vehicle at £91.75 or cancel with a full refund.
If you start one less than 24 hours before, we hold the whole vehicle price, £91.75, from the start. Either way, each person who joins lowers your price, and we refund the difference.
