York's transport links — A1(M) east of the city, A64 east to Scarborough, A19 south to Selby and Doncaster. York 110min to London King's Cross.

Local knowledge for York collections: York's business park at Clifton Moor and the University of York's Heslington campus generate steady courier demand for professional services and research materials. The city centre is largely pedestrianised during shopping hours, making vehicle access restricted — Hauly drivers use the A1237 ring road to bypass the centre and the A19 for fast access to Selby and Doncaster.
The estimated fuel cost for this route is £11 (diesel van at ~30mpg, £1.55/L), and the journey produces approximately 18 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.
