Trade plate vehicle movements in Bedlington, Northumberland

The A189 spine road and the towns around Bedlington

The A189 spine road brings our drivers straight to Bedlington without a tour of every village, linking the town to the A1 and the Tyne Tunnel approaches. The A1068 runs north to Ashington and Alnwick, and the A193 is the road to Blyth.

Bedlington Station is a distinct part of town with its own streets, and Choppington is a separate place, so please send the postcode that matches where the keys are. It saves our driver an unnecessary loop.

Ashington, Blyth, Choppington, Stakeford, Cramlington, Morpeth and North Shields all share work with Bedlington. A collection in any of them delivered to Bedlington is one job, and a Bedlington collection heading to Glasgow is booked the same way. The local railway, with connections into Newcastle, gives our driver a way home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from Wilsons Birtley, Manheim Washington and BCA Newcastle

Bedlington has no auction yard of its own, so most local buyers collect from Wilsons Auctions Birtley, Manheim Washington or BCA Newcastle upon Tyne. All three are a short run once our driver is on the A189.

Each yard has its own gate, so name the site where you bought rather than the nearest brand on the map. We confirm release before we go. Here is how auction collection after release works. Non runners cannot travel on trade plates.

Coalfield town dealers and fleet vans

The former coalfield towns still keep the motor trade busy. Independents on the A193 buy at Tyneside compounds and need a driver who will come all the way up the spine road, not one who stops at Morpeth.

Typical bookings include a Northumberland independent sending a car to a Newcastle group site, a part exchange heading back the other way, a fleet car leaving an NE22 address and an auction lot from Washington due on a Bedlington forecourt before the weekend once release and MOT are in place.

Vans coming off contracts towards the industrial units at Barrington must be taxed, tested and able to drive, however short the move. Former industrial yards with height barriers need the code on the booking.

Retail handovers on Front Street and in Bedlington Station

Delivering to a customer on the Front Street terraces or in Bedlington Station means our driver arrives in the car and hands it over in person, not a kerbside unload from a trailer. Find out how we run site transfers and retail handovers, and add named contacts at both ends.

Our driver photographs the car and records the mileage at collection, and the receiver signs at delivery. You get proof of collection and delivery together in one report, as set out in vehicle collection and delivery with POC and POD. The vehicle is covered by motor trade road risk insurance until the receiver signs, and fuel or charging is included.
