Trade plate vehicle movements in Selby and the Ouse valley

The A19, the A63 and crossing the Ouse

The A19 runs through Selby from York towards Doncaster, the A63 takes our drivers west to the A1 and the A1041 heads south to Camblesforth and Drax. A high river or a closed swing bridge can hold a job up, so we agree a date you can rely on rather than promising a same day slot.

Gowthorpe and the streets around the abbey are narrow. Units on Denison Road or off Bawtry Road usually have barriers, and Barlby sits across the river, so tell us which side of the Ouse the vehicle is on and which bridge makes sense.

Selby station is a junction with trains to York, Hull, Leeds and Doncaster, which gives our driver an easy way home after a one way delivery.

Barlby, Brayton, Thorpe Willoughby and the villages of YO8

Selby has several different last stretches. Brayton, Staynor Hall and the homes near the abbey each need the right postcode, while Barlby, Thorpe Willoughby and Hemingbrough are villages of their own. Put the village on the booking and the driver heads straight there.

Local moves are as welcome as long runs. Collecting in Barlby and delivering in Selby is one job, and collecting in Selby and delivering to Glasgow is another. York, Goole and Howden are all close neighbours.

Auction lots from BCA Leeds, Manheim Leeds, Normanton and Brighouse

With no auction site in Selby, most local buyers collect from BCA Leeds or Manheim Leeds, a run along the A63. BCA Normanton and BCA Brighouse lie further west if you bought there.

We always confirm your lot has been released before a driver goes, so nobody waits at the gate. Read more about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot be driven on trade plates and need a transporter.

Ouse valley dealers, part exchanges and Denison Road vans

Selby independents regularly send single cars to group sites in York or Leeds. A driven movement takes that one car straight away instead of waiting for a transporter to fill its deck on the A63. Part exchanges can go to BCA Leeds once they are legal to drive.

Fleet vans come off units on Denison Road and around Staynor Hall, and each needs a valid MOT. For a customer in Brayton expecting a delivery, our driver arrives in the car and hands it over at the door. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers.

A19 closures, a high river or a Barlby car booked as Selby are the usual reasons for delay, so double check the address. A short Brayton hop gets the same record as a long run: photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking a YO8 vehicle movement

We take cars and light vans that are roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. HGVs and rigid lorries are outside what we do. The trade plates are ours, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle until it is signed for. Read about what a driven trade plate movement is and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
