It is secure, with water and electricity to each berth and it is a short (10 to 15 minute) walk to West Drayton station - weekday services about 4 trains an hour to Paddington or Reading/ Oxford. It is about 4.5 - 5 hours from Brentford, so the crew may have to be consulted before going that far. HTH Dorothy
