This is a journey decided before you arrive: whether the driver watched the train, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is standing on the concourse at Ipswich when you come off. On the The Waterfront run we settle all three in advance — the train tracked, the fare from £45 fixed, and a named chauffeur waiting with a board.
Reckon on 10–20 min for the drive, with 45 minutes of complimentary waiting so a slow arrival never costs you the car. Every toll, and the London charges where they apply, sits inside the fare — nothing to settle at the kerb.
