Heathrow and Gatwick Express Launch Environmentally Friendly Door-to-Door Airport Service with Carbon Voyage

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Heathrow and GatwickExpress have launched the first ever environmentally
friendly door-to-door service to and from the airport with Carbon Voyage.
Travellers can book a pick up from either their home or office in a Carbon
Voyage car and travel to Paddington or Victoria Stations where they will board
the express train service to Heathrow or Gatwick Airports.

This new integrated service, which is booked on-line means customers will only
need to make one booking to arrange a Carbon Voyage vehicle and train ticket.
Train tickets will be sent electronically to the customers, saving postage and
paper.

James Swanston of Carbon Voyage said, "From an environmental perspective, this
new service will assist in taking cars off the road, reducing congestion and
more importantly the pollution caused from the five million people per year that
use taxis and minicabs to travel to and from Heathrow and Gatwick Airports. The
average taxi trip from Paddington to Heathrow is approximately 6.2 kg of CO2
emissions as opposed to 1.4 kg using a train
(Source:http://www.transportdirect.info/ )."

George Fripp, Account Manager for Heathrow and Gatwick Express adds: "We wanted
to optimise our offering and provide a best-in-class service and assistance to
our travellers. This product is applicable not just to our UK customers as it
can be booked on-line it is just as relevant for international travellers coming
into the UK."

Jonny Goldstone of Green Tomato Cars (www.greentomatocars.com), London's largest
exclusively green taxi company said, "By working with Green Tomato Cars, the
service combining Carbon Voyage and Heathrow and Gatwick Express demonstrates
that travellers can easily "go green" without settling for a lower quality of
service or paying a premium - customers will experience smoother journeys,
excellent customer service, reduce their environmental impact and pay less for
the journey all at the same time."

Prices start from £32and can be booked online at www.carbonvoyage.com
