Local knowledge
Badshot Lea sits between Farnham and Aldershot, with the A31 to the south and the A331 running north. It has no station of its own, but it is one of the few villages on our patch with two mainline stations roughly the same short distance away, so the right choice depends on where your train is going rather than which is nearer.
Every journey starts at your own door, so nobody has to walk to a meeting point. These are simply the places people name when they book, and the landmarks drivers navigate by. Most jobs start at a door on Badshot Lea Road or one of the closes off it. We also run regularly to St George's Church, the village hall on the old Tice hop kiln site, the Big Pond for anglers, and Tice's Meadow, the nature reserve on the former quarry between here and Tongham.
Tice's Meadow has limited parking and birdwatchers often arrive before first light, so early pickups there are common and worth booking the night before. School runs to the village infant school are a fixed weekly arrangement for several families. Give the dispatcher your postcode and the driver comes to the door rather than meeting you on the main road.
