The local standard
A Caterham journey begins with the correct door, station side or reception, then carries that detail through to the airport handover.

Road times are live-traffic estimates for a weekday morning; your quoted price uses your exact addresses.
01 — Rail identity
Caterham is not Upper Warlingham
National Rail lists Caterham station at Station Avenue, Caterham CR3 6LB and Upper Warlingham station separately at Station Road, Whyteleafe CR3 0EP. Upper Warlingham should therefore be requested by name when it appears on the passenger’s ticket. A traveller arriving at Caterham can continue to a Hill address, while somebody using Upper Warlingham begins in Whyteleafe. The service time and final door turn those into two specific transfers rather than one vague station pickup.
Surrey County Council lists Caterham Valley Library on Stafford Road, CR3 6JG and Caterham Hill Library on Westway, CR3 5TP. They are useful examples of why ‘the library in Caterham’ is not a complete destination. For any Valley or Hill venue, use the organisation’s name and postcode. The booking can then describe the place the passenger actually means without treating Station Avenue, Stafford Road and Westway as interchangeable town-centre labels.

03 — Cross-town appointments
Keep consecutive Caterham calls in a stated order
An itinerary may collect at the station, continue to a Westway appointment and later return from the Valley. Write the sequence in travel order and mark the first immovable arrival time. If a passenger will call when an appointment finishes, provide a coordinating mobile and a sensible ready window. The road booking can accommodate an agreed collection plan, but the venue controls its own appointment or event timing.
When relatives start from both the Hill and Valley, list each full address with the people and cases boarding there. The local collection then becomes a reviewed part of the airport plan before travel day. A train arrival can also be one of those calls. Include the service and station name, then state the terminal deadline that the completed pickup sequence must serve.

05 — Caterham collections
Station, Valley and Hill addresses need precise names
Caterham station sits in the Valley, while the Hill and nearby rail connections call for other addresses. Give the station, named institution or complete property address rather than only Caterham.
06 — Journey context
Use route figures as live-planning context
Displayed airport values begin at the Caterham guide point. For London or airport travel, the booked address, destination and current traffic can change the practical schedule, particularly when the first movement crosses between the Valley, Hill or Whyteleafe. Send the flight number and required airport arrival for departures. On an inbound booking, specify whether the passenger is going to a Caterham home, a named local venue or Upper Warlingham for a separate rail connection.
A complete brief gives the date, pickup time, exact origin, exact destination, passenger contact, party size and luggage. Add the rail service, flight or appointment that anchors the request. Before travel, check that the confirmation retains Station Avenue, Whyteleafe, Caterham Valley or Caterham Hill as intended. That small local distinction is the foundation for a reliable longer itinerary.
