Sheffield's transport links — M1 north-south, M18 to Doncaster and Hull, A57 to Manchester. Sheffield Station 120min to London St Pancras.

Local knowledge for Sheffield collections: Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Park at Catcliffe — home to Boeing's European production facility and McLaren Automotive — generates specialist courier demand for precision components. The city's topography (seven hills) means some routes take longer than the distance suggests. Hauly drivers use the Sheffield Parkway to reach Meadowhall and the M1 faster than the A61 during peak times.
The estimated fuel cost for this route is £9 (diesel van at ~30mpg, £1.55/L), and the journey produces approximately 15 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.
