FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR REACHING RESIDENTIAL LONDON FROM THE QUAY

The steamers of the Atlantic Transport Line dock at King George V dock, London.
For the convenience of our patrons a special steamer train will be waiting on the quay to convey them to Liverpool Street Station. Tickets may be procured from the Purser’s Office at a cost of Fifty cents each.

If passengers prefer, they may order by wireless, through the Purser, a private limousine to carry them to their destination— rates upon application. Passengers wishing to order private cars should do so not later than on the Friday before arrival.

Obviously only a limited amount of baggage can be carried by the limousine, and it is therefore suggested that passengers arrange with Messrs. Carter Paterson & Company regarding Customs clearance, storage or delivery of their other baggage. (See under Eastbound Baggage.)

Should the above facilities not meet with your requirements the company will afford every assistance in its power to carry out any special arrangements desired.

EASTBOUND BAGGAGE. Arrangements have been made with Carter Paterson & Co., Ltd. (128, Goswell Road, E. C. 1.) for their representative to board the steamer at Gravesend for the purpose of receiving instructions for the clearance through Customs, and dispatch of baggage to destination in Carter Paterson & Co.’s Suburban Area at an inclusive charge of 3/- per package. This will facilitate the departure of passengers as early as possible after the steamer’s arrival.

Baggage will be delivered the same day as cleared to any address in the West or West Central Area of London. Baggage for destinations outside C. P. & Co.’s Suburban Area and within C. P. & Co.’s Home Counties Area at slightly higher rates. These charges cover all services in connection with the Customs clearance and delivery. Baggage for Provincial Towns outside C. P. & Co/s area will also be received for forwarding by Rail. The clearing and cartage charges for this traffic will be 2/6 per package. Rail carriage from Station to destination will be additional.

An extra charge is made for baggage containing articles, which may be subject to duty or are prohibited. Declarations for this purpose can be obtained from the Purser during the voyage and should be filled in and handed to Carter Paterson’s Representative, together with the keys, when he boards the steamer.

On arrival in London, passengers who do not desire to travel on the special train arranged by the Atlantic Transport Line, must apply to the Company’s representative at foot of gangway for the necessary permit, for their baggage to enable them to pass the Port of London Authority’s officials at the dock gates.

MAP OF LONDON. For the convenience of passengers a Bacon’s map of London will be found in the library, whilst a motor routes and road map between central London and King George V Dock may be had on application to the Purser.

SPECIAL NOTICE
The attention of the Managers has been called to the fact that certain persons, believed to be professional gamblers, are in the habit of traveling to and fro in Atlantic Steamships.

In bringing this to the knowledge of travelers the Managers, while not wishing in the slightest degree to interfere with the freedom of action of patrons of the Atlantic Transport Line, desire to invite their assistance in discouraging games of chance, as being likely to afford these individuals special opportunities for taking unfair advantage of others.

CHERBOURG — PARIS AIR SERVICE
Arrangements have been made with the French Air Union whereby it is possible for passengers, wishing to fly to Paris from Cherbourg, to order planes through the Purser of this steamer provided he is given at least 24 hours’ notice before the arrival of the steamer at Cherbourg.

As soon as the tender comes alongside the quay, the porters will carry all the hand luggage to the Custom Shed, and the passengers will find same placed under the number of the car they will occupy on the train.

The inspection is immediately passed by the Customs Officials and the porters take the hand luggage to the compartment reserved on the special train.

Passengers traveling to Paris check their heavy baggage to that point on board the ship, if this has not been done on the pier in New York. Passengers whose heavy baggage has not been checked to Paris are requested to see the uniformed baggage master of the Company on board the tender and advise him whether they wish their trunks, etc.,, to go forward to Paris by the connecting special train or to some other destination.
