Book Your Gateshead-to-Edinburgh Man and Van
93 miles · 1.5 hours drive · fixed price · fully insured
LMD Logistics runs regular man and van between Gateshead and Edinburgh — a 93-mile door-to-door route worked out from our Birtley (DH3) base. Your load leaves NE8/NE9/NE10/NE11 in the morning and is unloaded at your Edinburgh address the same day.
Why our man and van suits this route
On a Gateshead to Edinburgh man and van run we usually send a two-crew Luton — enough hands for stairs at both ends over the 93-mile corridor, without paying for a full removals team. The van clears A1 north via Berwick-upon-Tweed in one hit so nothing sits in overnight storage.
The Gateshead to Edinburgh corridor
- The corridor runs 93 miles from Gateshead (NE8/NE9/NE10/NE11) to Edinburgh — roughly 1.5 hours of drive time on a normal weekday.
- We approach Edinburgh using A1 north via Berwick-upon-Tweed, which keeps the loaded van off residential rat-runs until the final mile.
- A1 western bypass, A167 spine, Tyne Bridge and Redheugh Bridge crossings, Gateshead Metro hub. At the Edinburgh end, Old Town access is tight — we route via the wider approach roads and book a bay when needed.
Unloading in Edinburgh
Every Gateshead-to-Edinburgh booking is a fixed price — no per-hour meter running once we clear A1 north via Berwick-upon-Tweed, no fuel surcharge on top.
- Edinburgh deliveries end in the New Town tenements and Leith more often than any other part of Scotland.
- Old Town access is tight — we route via the wider approach roads and book a bay when needed.
- Because the van comes straight from Gateshead, we can usually offer a same-day unload rather than an overnight hold.

On the Edinburgh end, most jobs finish in the New Town tenements and Leith, where old Town access is tight — we route via the wider approach roads and book a bay when needed.
