Motorway, mainline and more
Potters Bar sits just inside the M25 at junction 24, with a busy high street, a station on the Great Northern line and quick access to the A1(M). Fast trains into London make it a popular commuter town. Wrotham Park lies to the south, and Northaw Great Wood is a short drive east. We collect from homes across Potters Bar, from the station forecourt and from the shops on the high street.
Thanks to the motorway, Heathrow is only about 32 minutes away on clear roads. Luton Airport is around 26, Stansted roughly 43, and Gatwick close to 1h 07m. Every inbound flight we collect is followed in real time, and if it is late the waiting is on us rather than added to your fare.
Commuters book us for Potters Bar station on dark mornings and for the ride home after a late train. By road, King's Cross is also about 32 minutes on clear roads, and Barnet Hospital and Hatfield are both short local hops.
