Trade plate vehicle movements in Keighley and Airedale

The A629, the A650 and Pennine weather

The A629 is the main road for the motor trade, north to Skipton and south to Bradford and Halifax. The A650 dual carriageway follows the Aire towards Shipley and the A6034 heads for Silsden. Pennine weather on the A629 towards Halifax can be very different from conditions in Bradford, so we plan dates with that in mind.

Low Street and the town centre are tight, the yards at Royd Ings and Dalton Lane have barriers and the hill streets towards the Worth need their own directions. Riddlesden, Utley, Knowle Park and Ingrow are all different last stretches, and Silsden and Haworth are separate villages.

Collecting in Riddlesden and delivering in Keighley is one job, and so is a run from Keighley to Glasgow. Bingley, Shipley, Skipton and Halifax are neighbours. For a Leeds postcode, see trade plate vehicle movements in Leeds.

Auction collections from BCA Brighouse and the Leeds sites

There is no auction in Keighley, so most local buyers collect from BCA Brighouse. BCA Leeds and Manheim Leeds sit down the Aire valley, and BCA Normanton is further on if that is where your lot was bought.

We confirm the release with Brighouse, or whichever site you name, before a driver sets off along the A629. How a Brighouse collection works is explained on our auction collection after release page. Salvage bought at Brighouse would have to go on a transporter.

Airedale dealer transfers and mill town handovers

Keighley dealers mostly send stock to group sites in Bradford, Leeds and Skipton. Part exchanges go to Brighouse once they are legal. Fleet vans come off units on Dalton Lane with a valid MOT, each moved on its own rather than waiting for a transporter to fill.

For a customer in Utley or on a steep street off Low Street, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer to park on the A629. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and add a named contact for any mill yard.

Haworth, Ingrow and getting the driver home

Closures on the A629 towards Halifax, queues on the A650 through Shipley and a Haworth collection booked under Keighley are the usual hold ups. Pick a date you can keep and tell us whether the car is at BCA Brighouse or a house in Ingrow.

Keighley station is on the Airedale line into Leeds, with Skipton and Carlisle in the other direction, and that is how our driver returns after a one way delivery. Every job comes with photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one emailed report.

Booking a BD21 movement with OVM

The vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required and keys that start it. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers it until it is signed for, and proof of collection and proof of delivery arrive together. There is more about driven trade plate vehicle movements and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow on our main pages.
