Leaving King James's for halls in Leeds, York or further
The station is on the Harrogate Line to Leeds and York, which is fine for weekends home and hopeless for a duvet, a desk chair, a bike and twelve bags. A first-year move is usually one room's worth, which fills a fraction of the van. Halls give arrival slots, so the booking is timed to that: load at home in the morning, drive, and aim to unload in the slot you have been given.
Further runs to Newcastle, Durham, Nottingham or London start well from here, because the A59 reaches junction 47 of the A1(M) in about four miles. The summer move home is the reverse, from a shared house with the tenancy ending. Send the date the tenancy ends and the house address, and the collection is booked for that day.
Planning a student move to or from Knaresborough
- Check the arrival slot for halls in Leeds or York and book the van around it; York is a straight run east on the A59
- Pack into bags and boxes you can lift, and set aside anything that belongs to your housemates
- Beds and existing flat-pack desks can be taken apart and rebuilt at the other end
- Bikes travel upright, strapped to the side, with both wheels on
- If the family home is in the old town, tell us where the van can stop so the carry is allowed for

Student Removals in Knaresborough: your questions
Is there a university in Knaresborough?
No, and no college campus either. King James's School is the town's secondary and has a sixth form, so most students stay here until 18 and then move away to university, usually into halls in Leeds, York or further.
Can my room come home to Knaresborough in June?
Yes. Send the date the tenancy ends and the collection address, and the room is brought back to your Knaresborough address for a fixed price agreed when you book.
Can you keep my things over the summer?
No, there is no storage here. If you rent your own self-storage unit near the university, the van can run your things to it and back.
I am moving back into a Leeds house share in September. Can you do the whole run in a morning?
It is a short run, so a morning is realistic if loading starts early. Load in Knaresborough, drive down through Harrogate, and unload at the house. Send the Leeds postcode and a rough list and a fixed price comes back, agreed before we set off.
