Edinburgh's transport links — M8 west to Glasgow, A1 south to Newcastle, A720 city bypass to M8/M9. Edinburgh Waverley 270min to London King's Cross.

Local knowledge for Edinburgh collections: Edinburgh's courier demand spikes during the Festival in August and the Hogmanay period in December. Legal firms on George Street and the financial sector around Edinburgh Quay generate consistent document delivery work year-round. The tram works and city centre road closures mean local knowledge matters — Hauly drivers know which routes are accessible and which to avoid during peak times.
The estimated fuel cost for this route is £31 (diesel van at ~30mpg, £1.55/L), and the journey produces approximately 52 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.
