01 — Commercial Road
Attach the city collection to the correct station
National Rail lists Portsmouth & Southsea station at Commercial Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO1 1EQ. Include the booked service, expected arrival and passenger mobile so the handover is anchored to this named station. If the journey starts at a hotel, home or business, provide that full address instead. A city name is too broad to distinguish a rail arrival from a private-door airport transfer.
Portsmouth City Council publishes its Civic Offices at Guildhall Square, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO1 2AL. Add the department, appointment time and visitor instruction when this call governs the schedule. The address identifies the building but does not guarantee a vehicle entrance, stopping position or waiting permission. The chauffeur follows lawful live signage and the passenger's current direction at the handover.
02 — Portsmouth collections
Rail, civic square and waterfront calls have separate handovers
A Commercial Road train arrival and Guildhall Square appointment are not the same road meeting. For a harbour hotel or private address, list the full door, passenger contact and travel order before the longer airport leg.

04 — City itinerary
Keep rail, civic, harbour and seafront calls distinct
A Portsmouth itinerary may connect Commercial Road with Guildhall Square and then continue to a different harbour, seafront or residential address. List every stop in travel order with a property name or number and a contact for time-sensitive meetings. Where passengers join separately, record the people and luggage attached to each call. A provisional event finish should remain visibly unconfirmed instead of being presented as a fixed collection.
Supply the flight number, terminal and required airport arrival beside the precise origin. Displayed route values are planning guides from Portsmouth & Southsea station; another city address, extra call and live conditions can change the working window. Tell FCET about child seats, mobility equipment, large cases and multiple household pickups before confirmation. The complete request can then be matched to the vehicle and sequence.

06 — Arrival transfer
Define the final city handover before the flight lands
For an inbound journey, give the arriving flight and terminal together with the final Portsmouth destination. The station, Civic Offices and a waterfront hotel or private property are separate endpoints and should be named as such. If the group divides in the city, set the drop order and luggage allocation in writing. Flight monitoring supports the airport meeting without replacing the local instructions that complete the booking.
Provide the travel date, preferred pickup, exact first and final addresses, lead traveller contact, passenger count and baggage. Add the rail, flight, appointment or event deadline and flag anything still provisional. Before travel, confirm that the record names Commercial Road, Guildhall Square or the intended private door. This city-area page complements the separate Portsmouth port and journey guides; it does not replace a terminal-specific instruction.
