- [Home](https://ovmtransport.com/) - [Vehicle movements](https://ovmtransport.com/vehicle-movements) - St Albans Vehicle movements / St Albans # Trade Plate Vehicle Movements in St Albans St Albans sits on the Ver. AL1 in the centre. AL2, AL3 and AL4 across the rest. The M1 is west. The M25 is south. The A414 is the east-west county road. From the Glasgow office the run is M74, M6, M1. OVM quotes one driven movement. There is no St Albans office. A cathedral city on the M25 is still a nationwide postcode, not a second London page. OVM Ltd, Companies House SC834621. Digital proof of collection and delivery provided. 0141 459 1302. No account. Quote the job. Accounts only change invoicing. ## Garston is Watford, not St Albans Live unique copy named BCA Enfield, BCA Bedford and BCA Thurleigh, plus CVA Bedford on the compound strip. Thurleigh is not on the live sitemap. CVA is out. Keep BCA Enfield and BCA Bedford. Manheim Northampton sits if that is where you bought. [Collect from BCA Enfield after release](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection-bca-enfield) if that is the gate. Live copy listed Garston as a St Albans station. Garston is Watford. We will not paste it onto this page. Release is confirmed with Enfield, or Bedford, or whichever site you name, before a driver is sent onto the M25. The A405 does not open an Enfield gate. [auction collection after release](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection). Salvage off plates. Enfield sits on [trade plate vehicle movements in Enfield](https://ovmtransport.com/vehicle-movements-enfield). The Greater London hub remains [trade plate vehicle movements in London](https://ovmtransport.com/vehicle-movements-london) if that is actually the other postcode. Houghton Regis sits on [trade plate vehicle movements in Houghton Regis](https://ovmtransport.com/vehicle-movements-houghton-regis). Hoddesdon already has its own page. ## The Close is not Porters Wood Independents still move stock toward Watford, Luton and the rest of the country without waiting for a truck to fill a deck on a single Abbey street. Fleet vans come off Porters Wood, Brick Knoll and the AL3 units. They still need a valid MOT. A retail handover on a terrace off Hatfield Road is a person at a door, not a trailer on Holywell Hill. St Albans is not Watford and it is not Hatfield. A booking that says St Albans and is actually in London Colney, or actually in Harpenden, needs the place. AL2 and AL1 are not interchangeable. Live copy bundled Hemel, Watford, Stevenage and a ring of other Hertfordshire towns onto this city. It does not. Holywell Hill, St Peter's Street and the streets around the Cathedral are tight. A compound toward Porters Wood is a barrier and a named manager. A customer toward Marshalswick, St Stephen or Batchwood needs a legal stop. Do not send a Porters Wood collection to the Close first. Do not send a London Colney job to AL1 because both sit under a St Albans invoice. Junction 7 of the M1 then the A405, or junction 21A of the M25 then the A405, is how a nationwide job actually reaches the city. The A414 is Hemel one way, Hatfield the other. The A1081 is the Harpenden and London road. None of those is a same day promise. A closed M25 at junction 21A and a market day around the clock tower are Hertfordshire facts. Neighbouring places: Harpenden, London Colney, Hatfield, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Redbourn. Collection at Porters Wood and delivery in Marshalswick is one job. Collection in St Albans and delivery in Glasgow is nationwide. If the postcode is LU5 toward Houghton Regis, that already has its own page. If it is EN11, that is Hoddesdon. ULEZ is a last-mile fact if the other end is inside the zone, not a price. ## St Albans City is not Abbey St Albans City is the Midland Main Line stop. St Albans Abbey is a different last mile, the branch terminus toward Watford. Park Street and How Wood are Abbey line stops toward the south, useful only if that is actually the end. We do not send a driver to Garston and call it St Albans. ## What a Hertfordshire dealer is actually booking A St Albans independent moving a car to a Watford or Luton group roof. A part exchange going to BCA Enfield once it is legal. A customer on Hatfield Road who was promised a driver. A fleet van from Porters Wood. A London Colney collection written as AL1. Site transfer versus customer door: [site transfers and retail handovers](https://ovmtransport.com/dealer-delivery). Named contacts. A locked unit toward Brick Knoll and a gated house toward the Cathedral are not the same product, even though both use plates. ## London Colney is not St Albans M25 queues at junction 21A, an A414 delay through Hatfield and a London Colney collection written as AL1 are the usual failures. If the car is at BCA Enfield, they should not be sent to the Close first. If it is a house toward Marshalswick, they should not be sent to Porters Wood. Put the AL district, the barrier code and the person on the quote. Do not copy a London am onto an AL1 booking. Photographs still happen on a London Colney to Marshalswick hop. Cathedral miles are not a paperwork holiday. Enfield will not hold a car because Holywell Hill was closed. ## The M25 does not replace an MOT Trade plates are ours. The MOT is still yours to have on the vehicle. Truck if not. Condition recorded before the engine is used as transport. Signature at the far end. One file.
