Coach Drivers collecting a group
Step 1
Report to the Control Office at the West Ramp Coach Park (WRCP). The WRCP is located off the A4 at the Airport West Entrance, it is open every day from 06:00 – 22:00 (except Christmas day) and has refreshment and toilet facilities.
Step 2
Provide the controller at the Control Office with the following:
- Vehicle registration number
- Operating company name. If working on behalf of another operator, please give the name of that company
- Flight Number you are meeting
- Payment: £18 plus VAT (£21.15 in total) – effective from 1 April 2007 until the 31 March 2008.
There are two methods of payment:
- Cash on arrival at WRCP
- Pre-paid vouchers that can be purchased in advance from the WRCP
Step 3
Upon payment you will be given a permit and the expected time of arrival of your flight. Please wait in the driver’s rest room until you are called forward to the designated terminal. If you need to return to your vehicle it is your responsibility to be at the the Control Office in time to be released to the terminal.
Step 4
When called forward, proceed to the relevant terminal forecourt. At peak times a coach marshal will assist in calling coaches forward. The coach marshal is in radio contact with the WRCP controller. If you cannot locate the coach marshal please call +44 (0)7814 246 995.
Step 5
Display your permit clearly in your vehicle windscreen. This does not contravene the “no waiting” regulations.
- The terminal forecourt areas are patrolled regularly by the Metropolitan Police and traffic flow controllers, and you must move your vehicle if requested at any time.
- You must remain with your vehicle at all times whilst it is within the terminal area.
