Chauffeur Services in Newbury

Almost every timing round here answers to junction thirteen of the M4 at Chieveley, where the A34 crosses. Trunk road traffic piles up on the roundabout through both peaks, and anything going wrong on the A34 towards Oxford shoves vehicles straight back into town along the A4. With the junction blocked, we run west on the A4 to junction fourteen at Membury instead; it costs a few miles and usually saves more time than it spends.

A race day at Newbury rearranges the local roads for an afternoon and an evening, with the A339 and the Greenham road heavy both ways and the exit crawling for an hour after the last. Market mornings take over the Market Place and the Wharf, while December brings closures around Northbrook Street. Highclere lies roughly twenty minutes south when the A34 runs clear, though its approach lane is single track and summer visitors arrive in numbers.

On a long journey, Britain's weather does more damage than its traffic ever will. Winter afternoons close in early, and that matters a great deal when the final leg is a single-track road. Highland and moorland routes can run substantially longer than any summer estimate suggests. Those allowances go into the timings from the start, rather than being discovered together halfway up a glen. Where a departure hour makes the schedule uncomfortable, we propose a better one.

Demand tracks the calendar closely. Bank holiday weekends fill fast, so do the weeks either side of Christmas, the summer wedding season and those university terms that all begin and end together. The further from London a journey runs, the sooner a car wants committing to it. Midweek travel in the shoulder months, by contrast, is the easiest thing in the world to arrange.
