The Chester-le-Street to York corridor
- The corridor runs 65 miles from Chester-le-Street (DH2/DH3) to York — roughly 1 hours of drive time on a normal weekday.

Why our man and van suits this route
On a Chester-le-Street to York man and van run we usually send a two-crew Luton — enough hands for stairs at both ends over the 65-mile corridor, without paying for a full removals team. The van clears A1(M) south then A64 in one hit so nothing sits in overnight storage.

On the York end, most jobs finish in inside the city walls and around Bishopthorpe Road, where loading inside the walls needs a short-window plan — we usually load before the retail hours start.
