Newcastle to Edinburgh removals
The A1 between Newcastle and Edinburgh runs past Northumberland’s coast and countryside, and the drive takes around two hours. It is a short cross-border move that is easily done in a day.
In Edinburgh, we plan for cobbles, permits and the Low Emission Zone, particularly in the Old and New Town.

How we run Newcastle to Edinburgh moves
We work out the realistic timings, including legal driver hours, loading and unloading, then give you an earliest and latest arrival. You can choose a dedicated load (your belongings only, direct, most flexible) or a shared load where that is available and cheaper. If your completion dates move, storage-in-transit is available.
The route also works in reverse: we regularly move customers from Edinburgh to Newcastle.
