Trade plate vehicle movements in Braunstone Town, west Leicester

M1 junction 21, Fosse Park and Meridian: finding the right door

Junction 21 lets a long distance drive reach Braunstone Town without crossing Leicester city centre, and the A5460 and A563 ring handle the local roads. From Glasgow our drivers simply follow the M74, M6 and M1.

The area packs very different sites close together. Fosse Park is retail and busy traffic, Meridian Business Park is sheds with height barriers and set reception hours, and Thorpe Astley and Lubbesthorpe are newer housing. A booking marked Braunstone that is really at Fosse Park or Leicester Forest East costs a lap of the ring, so send the postcode where the keys are.

Leicester Forest East, Enderby, Narborough and Glenfield are all neighbours, with Hinckley further out towards the A5. We are just as happy taking a car from Enderby to Braunstone Town as driving one from here all the way to Glasgow.

Auction collections from BCA Measham, BCA Castle Donington and Manheim Shepshed

Local buyers mostly use BCA Measham along the A42, BCA Castle Donington up the M1 and Manheim Shepshed towards Loughborough. BCA Nottingham is further north if that is where you bought.

Tell us the exact site and we will confirm release with the auction before a driver is sent. Find the full process under auction collection after release. Non runners cannot travel on trade plates.

Site transfers and retail handovers on Leicester's west side

Many bookings are Leicester groups moving stock between a city site and a west side satellite, part exchanges heading to Measham once they are legal to drive and fleet cars coming off employee drives near the M1.

For a retail buyer in Thorpe Astley, our driver arrives in the car itself rather than unloading a transporter on the pavement. Learn more about site transfers and retail handovers. Meridian barriers and Fosse Park car parks are very different to access, so let us know which one applies and give us a named contact.

Making the day run smoothly around Braunstone Town

Junction 21 traffic and Saturday queues at Fosse Park are part of life here. A collection from Meridian needs someone at reception who can lift the barrier, and a handover on a Braunstone estate needs the customer at home and answering the phone.

Leicester Forest East, Thorpe Astley and Enderby are close enough that a wrong street name can send the driver to the wrong address. Braunstone Town has no station of its own, so we plan our driver's return through Leicester station after a one way delivery.
