Vehicle Transport in Lancashire
Lancashire sits astride the M6, making it one of the most straightforward northern counties to reach from Devon — even at 240 miles. From the coastal resorts of Blackpool and Morecambe to the industrial heritage towns of Blackburn, Burnley, and Preston, from the Forest of Bowland's remote hills to the suburban sprawl north of Manchester. The M6 junctions 27 through 34 serve the entire county. A long run, but an easy one.
M6 Direct Route
The M6 from Birmingham runs directly into Lancashire. It's motorway all the way from the South West — no complicated navigation, just miles of reliable road.
Preston & Central Lancs
Preston is Lancashire's administrative centre and sits right on the M6 at junction 31. Straightforward access to the city centre and surrounding areas.
Blackpool & The Coast
Blackpool's famous promenade, the Golden Mile, and the residential hinterland — we handle coastal collections year-round, though summer traffic on the M55 requires planning.
East Lancashire Pennine Towns
Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, Nelson — the East Lancashire towns along the M65 corridor. Industrial heritage, tight terraced streets, and a driver who knows the area.
Lancaster & The North
Lancaster, Morecambe, and the approach to the Lake District. Lancaster's one-way system takes some getting used to — which our drivers have done.
Forest of Bowland
The Forest of Bowland AONB is one of Lancashire's hidden gems — remote, hilly, and sparsely populated. Collections from the Trough of Bowland area need rural road expertise.
