Trade plate vehicle movements in Thetford and Breckland

The A11, the A134 and Thetford Forest

The A11 links Thetford with Newmarket in one direction and Norwich in the other. The A134 heads north towards King's Lynn, the A1066 runs to Diss and the A1075 goes up to Watton. Forest traffic, deer on the road and the odd closure on the A11 all play a part here, so we agree a collection time you can rely on rather than promising a same day slot.

King Street and the streets around the clock are tight. Units on Fison Way and Brunel Way usually have a barrier and a site contact, and some forest units have height bars that will not show up on a map. A delivery near Nuns' Bridges or in a close by the forest needs someone to meet the driver and a legal place to stop.

Brandon, Attleborough, Croxton, Mundford and Elveden each have their own last stretch, so please book the village rather than just Thetford. Thetford station is on the Breckland line between Cambridge and Norwich, which gives our driver a simple way home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Chelmsford, BCA Bedford and Manheim Frating

There is no auction site in Thetford, so most local buyers collect from BCA Chelmsford and come back up the A11 once the lot is released. BCA Bedford is the option to the west and Manheim Frating is the Essex Manheim if that is where you bought.

Before a driver sets off we confirm with the auction that your vehicle has been released, so nobody is turned away at the gate. Our guide to auction collection after release covers what happens at the gate. Salvage lots need a transporter, since trade plates cannot be used on them.

Dealer moves and fleet vans across Breckland

Breckland independents often need a car taken to a group site in Bury St Edmunds, Norwich or Cambridge. Others are sending a part exchange to Chelmsford once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Fison Way and Brunel Way, and each one needs a valid MOT before we collect.

If you have promised a customer near the forest or off King Street a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer on a narrow forest road. Read how site transfers and retail handovers work in practice.

Because we move one vehicle at a time, your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A11. Add a named contact and any height or gate details to the booking.

Brandon, Mundford or Thetford: getting the address right

Most delays come from A11 closures, forest traffic and a Brandon collection booked as Thetford. If the car is at BCA Chelmsford, tell us and the driver will go straight to the gate. If it is a house in Croxton, we will not send them to Fison Way first.

Tell us a date you can keep and we will plan the drive through the forest around it. A short hop from Mundford gets the same photos and mileage at collection as a long run, with a signature at handover and one report by email.

Booking an IP24 movement with OVM

Cars and light vans leaving IP24 must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. We cannot take HGVs, and trade plates do not replace an MOT. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle from collection until it is signed for. You can read about what a driven trade plate vehicle movement is and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
