Cambridge (population 145,000) sits in the East of England region, with Hauly drivers covering all CB postcodes. Cambridge's transport links — M11 north-south to London and Stansted, A14 east-west to Huntingdon and Ipswich. Cambridge 50min to London King's Cross. Stansted Airport 30mi from city centre. — give drivers fast access to the regional road network.
Peterborough (population 215,000) is in the East of England region, covered by PE postcodes. The destination city connects via the A1(M). Our drivers deliver to all parts of Peterborough, from the city centre to outlying business parks and residential areas.
Local knowledge for Cambridge collections: Cambridge's Science Park at Milton Road and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus at Addenbrooke's generate specialist courier demand for lab samples, prototypes, and technical documents. The A14 is the key east-west route but suffers heavy congestion during peak hours — Hauly drivers use the M11 and A1307 to avoid A14 delays. The city's extensive cycling infrastructure means some central roads are restricted to vehicles, so local knowledge is essential.
The estimated fuel cost for this route is £8 (diesel van at ~30mpg, £1.55/L), and the journey produces approximately 14 kg of CO₂. Because Hauly uses dedicated vehicles — your item is the only delivery in the van — there are no extra miles from depot detours or multi-drop routes, making this a more efficient option than parcel networks for same-day delivery.
