starstarstarstarstar
"Durham University student, from Leigh-on-Sea. Fly back to Southend from Amsterdam at the end of every term. Executive car, driver takes the M25 then straight up the A1(M) — four hours to Collingwood College South Road DH1. He knows the South Road entrance and the one-way system around the college. Tried the train from King's Cross once. Too much to handle with all my term luggage. This service is genuinely the only sensible option from Southend to Durham."

"Heritage tour group of four from Southend, flying in from Malaga to visit Durham Cathedral and Beamish Museum. MPV, driver met us in arrivals and got us to the Cathedral Quarter DH1 in exactly four hours via the A1(M). He knew the exact Palace Green access road and even recommended the best time to walk the Peninsula walls. Dropped us at Beamish DH9 the following day too. Split four ways the price was the same as four train tickets from King's Cross. Superb."

"Retired teacher, fly Ryanair Southend to Faro every winter. Coming home to Chester-le-Street DH3 for Christmas. Saloon, driver straight up the A1(M) — door to door in under four hours. I'm too old for the train from King's Cross with bags. Driver was polite, the car was immaculate, and he knew Chester-le-Street's back roads perfectly. I've been using this service for three years now and would not change it. Absolutely recommend it to any County Durham resident flying from Southend."
