Trade plate vehicle movements in Moreton on the Wirral

From Moreton Cross to the M53

Moreton Cross, the roundabout with the clock, is where the A551 heads for Leasowe and Wallasey and the A553 runs to Bidston and Birkenhead. Longer drives leave the peninsula at junction 1 or 2 of the M53. Tunnel queues or a closed stretch of motorway can push traffic onto Borough Road, so we agree a realistic collection time rather than promising a same day slot.

Hoylake Road is the main local road. A unit off Reeds Lane or Pasture Road needs a barrier code and a named contact, while a customer near the North Wirral Coastal Park may have a height barrier you would never spot on a map. Put those details on the booking and the driver arrives ready.

Please check the postcode too. A car in Saughall Massie, Meols or Bidston is a different stop from Moreton Cross, and this is the Wirral town, not Moreton in Marsh in the Cotswolds.

Short hops and long runs across the Wirral

Collecting in Leasowe and delivering to Moreton is one job, and so is collecting in Moreton and delivering to Glasgow. Upton, Wallasey, Birkenhead and Chester all see regular movements from Moreton dealers.

Moreton station is on the Wirral Line, with trains to West Kirby and to Liverpool Lime Street via the loop. That gives our driver a simple way home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from Wilsons Auctions Deeside and Manheim Haydock

There is no auction site in Moreton, so most Wirral buyers collect from Wilsons Auctions Deeside, a short run across the Dee on the A550 and the M53. Manheim Haydock is on the other side of the Mersey, and we also collect from BCA Carrington in Trafford and BCA Preston further north.

We check with the auction that your lot has been released before a driver goes, so nobody waits at the gate. There is more detail on auction collection after release. Salvage lots are not allowed on trade plates and have to go by transporter.

Dealer transfers, part exchanges and Reeds Lane fleet vans

A typical Moreton booking is a Wirral independent sending a car to a group site in Birkenhead or Chester, or a part exchange going to Wilsons Deeside once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off units on Reeds Lane, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

If you have promised a customer in Saughall Massie a delivery to their door, our driver turns up in the car itself, without a trailer blocking their road. Our dealer delivery service covers both site transfers and customer handovers.

If a vehicle is not suitable for trade plates, we will tell you straight away so you can arrange a transporter.

How to book a CH46 movement

The vehicle has to be roadworthy and legal to drive, including a valid MOT where applicable. We bring the trade plates, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle from collection until it is signed for. Condition and photos are recorded at the start, and both proofs reach you in one email report. See how a driven trade plate movement works and where we cover from Glasgow.
