Service overview
What station transfers with NABs actually looks like.
What it is
A station transfer with NABs is a pre-booked private hire run between your home or hotel and the rail station of your choice — door at one end, platform at the other. We check the live train running before we leave so you make the connection that matters.
Who it is for
Commuters into London Paddington and Waterloo, business travellers heading to the Reading hub, families catching the GWR to the West Country, racing professionals connecting to circuits, and overseas guests joining mainline trains from Heathrow.
When you need it
Early-morning commuter runs, mid-morning meeting trips, after-work pickups from the last fast train, and weekend departures for events and holidays. Pre-book the night before for guaranteed availability.
Why professional matters
Station car parks are full by 7am, taxi ranks are unreliable in rural Berkshire, and missing a Paddington fast train can cost a working morning. A pre-booked driver removes all three.
What goes wrong when this isn't planned
Get this wrong and the whole day pivots around it.
Stations are pinch points — and the wrong booking can derail an entire day. Here's what goes wrong:
Station car park full
Newbury and Didcot Parkway routinely fill before the 07:30. Driving to the station only to circle the car park is a guaranteed missed train.
Late driver, lost connection
Miss the fast train and the slow stopper turns a 45-minute journey into 90. A driver with a buffer and a live train app stops this happening.
No taxis at the inbound rank
Late-evening returns into Newbury or Hungerford often have no taxis on the rank. A pre-booked driver is already waiting at the kerb.
Bags on the platform
App-drivers stop at the entrance and drive off. We help with bags to the platform where it's allowed — and lift them out of the boot on the return.

Door-to-platform drop-off, with help on the luggage. On the return, we are at the kerb as your train pulls in.
Why this matters
The difference a real private hire driver makes.
On the right train
Built-in buffer plus live train tracking means you catch the service you booked, not the next one.
No car-park lottery
Skip the 6:50 scramble for the last station car-park space. We drop you at the platform door.
Calm on the return
Step off the train, walk to a waiting car — no rank, no app, no wait in the rain.
Help with luggage
Bags loaded at the house, lifted out at the station, unloaded into the hall on the way back.
Fixed price up front
No surge, no late-running surcharges. The number quoted is the number paid.
Same driver, every time
Standing weekly commuter runs come with the same driver and the same fixed price.
The detail
How station transfers actually breaks down.
We cover every mainline station within reasonable reach of Lambourn and the surrounding Berkshire and Oxfordshire towns. Below is how the most common runs break down.
Didcot Parkway
Didcot Parkway is the fast hub for GWR services to London Paddington, Bristol, Cardiff and the West Country. From Lambourn it's typically 30 to 40 minutes via the A338 or M4 — we plan the route based on the time of day.
Reading & Reading West
Reading is the major Thames Valley interchange — Elizabeth Line, GWR fast services, CrossCountry to Birmingham and the North. Drop-off at the kerb on Vastern Road or the bus interchange for shortest platform access.
Hungerford & Bedwyn
Hungerford and Bedwyn serve the slower GWR Bedwyn line into Paddington. Useful for off-peak runs and quieter departures than Newbury during the morning crush.
London terminals direct
When the train isn't an option — late finish, awkward connection, lots of luggage — we run direct to London Paddington, Waterloo, King's Cross, Euston and Victoria as a fixed-price private hire job.
The car
Every station fare runs in a black Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E350) — up to 4 passengers, with a large boot for laptop bags, weekend cases or larger luggage. Valeted, with water and charging cables on board.
