Trade plate vehicle movements in Fleetwood and the Fylde coast

On and off the peninsula by the A585

The A585 is the one main road in and out, running down to junction 3 of the M55, and there is no second dual carriageway. When it is closed, everything waits, so we agree a date with you rather than promise a same day slot. The A587 links Fleetwood with Cleveleys and Blackpool along the coast.

Fleetwood, Thornton, Cleveleys and Knott End across the Wyre are four separate last stretches, and the ferry to Knott End is no help to a driver with a car. Dock Street, the Freeport retail land and the streets around the Mount are all different places too. If the car is on the docks, tell us the gate. If it is in a street behind the Marine Hall, say so.

Poulton-le-Fylde, Blackpool and Garstang inland are all close by. A hop from Thornton into Fleetwood is one job and a run from Fleetwood to Glasgow is another. The town is served by the Blackpool tramway rather than a mainline station, so we plan the driver's return from Poulton-le-Fylde after a one way delivery.

Bringing auction lots home from BCA Preston

There is no auction site on the Fylde, so most Fleetwood buyers collect from BCA Preston. Central Car Auctions Accrington lies across the M6, and Manheim Haydock covers lots bought in south Lancashire and Merseyside.

We confirm release with the site you name before anyone is sent, then drive the car home by the M55 and A585. We explain the release check in our guide to auction collection. Anything sold as salvage has to leave on a transporter, not on our plates.

Port town dealers, Freeport vans and FY7 customers

A typical booking is a Fylde independent sending a car to a group site in Preston or Blackpool, or a part exchange heading to BCA Preston once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans leave dock side and Freeport units, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

When a customer on a terrace off Lord Street is expecting their car, our driver delivers it to the door, with no transporter blocking the street. Dock gates close and duty managers go home, so please give us a named contact who will be there at each end. Our dealer delivery and handover page has the full picture.

Wind, roadworks and a Cleveleys address

Strong wind over the Wyre, roadworks on the A585 and a Cleveleys collection booked as Fleetwood are the usual reasons a job slips. Shift change at the docks also fills Lord Street. Give us the right postcode and contact, and for a lot at BCA Preston we only head out once release is confirmed.

A short trip from Thornton gets the full record, just like a long run north. The driver records condition with photos before setting off, the receiver signs at the other end and the report lands in your inbox.

Booking a Fleetwood movement with OVM

Every car we move from Fleetwood must be fit for the road and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where required. The driver brings our trade plates, and our insurance covers the car from collection to signature. Find the detail on driven trade plate movements and our UK coverage from Glasgow.
