Pinewood and Shepperton call and travel pay
2026 Pact / FAA travel and early-call allowances for Pinewood, Shepperton, and London studio units, plus where to find background artists for those lots.
Travel is a fixed allowance
On the Pact / FAA 2026 card, TFL Zones 1–3 are £17.09. Regional studios including Pinewood and Shepperton are £23.89. The early call uplift is £20.91. These are fixed bands, not a per-mile fare.
The daily rate still applies on a studio day
A Pinewood or Shepperton background day still uses the FAA basic daily rate of £111.21 plus £13.42 holiday pay, unless the call is the night / continuous working rate of £166.82 plus £20.14 holiday pay. Overtime remains £11.69 per 30 minutes, including holiday pay.
Find artists for those studios
Published artists who list Pinewood, Buckinghamshire, Shepperton, or Surrey are on the studio rosters. London supporting artists are the wider pool for South East units.
