Courier Coverage Across Lancaster and North Lancashire

Junction 33 of the M6 at Galgate is approximately 4 miles south of Lancaster city centre, and Junction 34 at Slyne is approximately 3 miles north. This gives our drivers direct motorway access southward to Preston (25 miles), Manchester (55 miles), and the Midlands, and northward to Penrith and the M74 to Scotland. The A6 runs through Lancaster as a local alternative. We collect from all LA1 and LA2 postcodes, including Lancaster city centre, the White Cross industrial estate, Carnforth industrial area, Morecambe seafront and commercial zone, and Lancaster University campus. We also regularly serve Kendal, Morecambe, and Preston on extended same-day runs.
