willjan Posted April 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2014 We will be arriving in Southampton by train to join QM2 for an August crossing. Is the station close by to the cruise terminal for us to walk or should we take a taxi. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag fan Posted April 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I have always taken a taxi; I think it is too far to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deck chair Posted April 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hello Ditto. Too far to walk. Deck Chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybean Posted April 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Depending what terminal the QM2 will be using, I believe the taxi from the train station is either 8 or 10 pounds. Ocean terminal is a bit farther "out" accounting for the higher fare... We have met other QM2 passengers on the train and shared a taxi, halving those amounts. it is much too far to walk. The trains run at frequent internals from London. Easy transportation. Have a wonderful crossing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunarder1838 Posted April 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The last few times I have taken a taxi which was around £10. No way you could walk it with bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
