Junction 31 for the trade units, junction 32 for everything else
Whitwood Enterprise Park on Speedwell Road and Whitwood Lane sits less than a kilometre from junction 31, which makes it one of the quickest industrial addresses we reach anywhere east of Bradford. The town also carries some substantial employers, a Burberry factory and the TEVA Pharmaceuticals UK headquarters among them, and sites of that size run booked goods-in windows and gate paperwork as a matter of course. Send the reference with the job and the van arrives inside the window.
Retail in the middle of town is where the planning goes. Carlton Street is pedestrianised and runs the full length of a market that trades six days a week, so there is no vehicle access to those frontages during trading hours and stock goes in from the Bridge Street side on the trolley. The Carlton Lanes car park has a height barrier worth checking before a high-roof van commits to it, and weekend traffic for Junction 32 and Xscape clogs the A656 approach.
What Castleford business deliveries usually involves
- Twenty-two miles from Bradford but nearly all motorway - M606 to the M62 eastbound, off at 32 for the town and Glasshoughton or 31 for Whitwood
- Tell us the junction as well as the postcode, because 31 and 32 lead to completely different halves of Castleford
- Carlton Street has no vehicle access during market trading hours, so town-centre stock is trolleyed in from the Bridge Street side
- Glasshoughton, Xscape and Junction 32 have large free surface parking, which makes a useful staging point between two booked windows
- Glasshoughton's newer estates are narrow cul-de-sacs with small turning heads, so a home-business or small-office drop there is met at an agreed point rather than reversed to the door

What it costs
A Castleford job is priced on the drops and the time on site, with the motorway run over from Bradford built into the fixed price rather than added as travel. There's no travel surcharge for coming to Castleford from Bradford, and you get the price before we set off, not after. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Frequently asked questions: business deliveries in Castleford
Which motorway junction should I put on the booking?
Junction 31 if the address is Whitwood or the Aire-side estates, junction 32 for the town centre and Glasshoughton. They are different approaches and getting it wrong costs a loop round. The postcode plus the junction is all we need to plan the order of the drops.
Can you deliver to a shop on Carlton Street?
Not to the door during trading. Carlton Street is pedestrianised and the market runs its full length six days a week, so we work from the Bridge Street side and trolley the stock across. Tell us the unit and roughly how much is coming and we will sort the stopping point first.
Is Castleford too far for a van based in Bradford?
No. It is twenty-two miles and almost all of it is M606 and M62, so it is a straightforward run and there is no travel surcharge on top. The honest limit is capacity rather than distance: one van and one driver, so a van-load per trip, not pallet freight.
