Why our man and van suits this route
On a Houghton-le-Spring to Manchester man and van run we usually send a two-crew Luton — enough hands for stairs at both ends over the 99-mile corridor, without paying for a full removals team. The van clears A1(M) to A66 and M6 south in one hit so nothing sits in overnight storage.
