What is the best/easiest way to get to Slough from Newcastle (upon-Tyne) via public transport?

I need to go and collect my new (to me) F-PACE SVR sometime as the Jag dealership are refusing to deliver. Their excuse is something about them not being allowed to due to distance selling rules even though their website said and still says that they do a delivery service.

I've already paid a deposit and I have been accepted for the finance through JLR finance.

To be honest I really can't be chewed with the 5 hour+ drive back, I only went ahead with the deal as I thought I could have got it delivered. :(

Use your lottery money to pay for a company to collect and deliver it on your behalf.

Was going to suggest having someone pick it up - but dealer may not accept a 3rd party collecting it from the sale.

Sounds to me like the dealer is trying to get out of any distance selling obligations rather than "can't" do it.

EDIT: Most places I've dealt with will only deliver within 100 miles though and/or only for "free" within 100 miles and want extra money per mile beyond that.

If that's the case then they really are being arsey about it. It's 2023, it really isn't difficult to put the documents in place to have this work.

I stuck it in my post after but the dealer might be trying to avoid any distance selling obligations.
 
Train down to Kings Cross (Lumo probably the best option), Northern Line tube down to Waterloo (probably?), then train out to Slough :)

Basically they want me to come to the dealership to complete the sale so I don't think sending a 3rd party collection company will work.

I do assume them using the "distance selling" line as a way to get out of their obligations and not because they are "not allowed" to.
