From Reedyford onto the motorway network
Barrowford's advantage on a long move is the motorway at the end of the village. The van leaves Gisburn Road, joins the M65 at junction 13 and heads west past Burnley towards Preston, where the M6 runs north to Lancaster and Scotland and south to the Midlands and London. For a move to Yorkshire or the east, the route goes the other way, over the tops by Colne to Keighley and on to the A1 or the M62.
A long wheelbase Transit suits a flat, a small house or a share of a bigger one: the load space is 3.4m long and holds a one-bed or a lightly furnished two-bed in one trip. Packing is done before the day, or booked, and everything is wrapped and strapped for the whole distance. On a very long run the van can stop overnight by arrangement and unload the next morning, agreed in the quote.
