How this route works
Book online or by phone, any hour of the day. A driver from our Smethwick base collects within 30 to 60 minutes, loads with the tail-lift, and drives straight to Newcastle upon Tyne with no depot stops and no other customers' goods on board. You get a photo and a signed proof of delivery as soon as the goods are off the van.
M42, M1, A1(M). Newcastle clean air zone charges apply to older vans. Newcastle's clean air zone covers the city centre and the Tyne, Swing and Redheugh bridges and charges non-compliant vans; Team Valley, Cobalt and the airport are outside it. The Tyne Tunnel toll applies to vans and is added at cost.
