A55 North Wales run · Tuesdays
Wales Shuttle collects boxes, bags and small moves from Porthmadog every Tuesday and delivers to London the next day. Kerbside collection of up to 4 pieces costs £199 including VAT and £50 cover per piece, the same price in both directions. Book online in 2 minutes.
Porthmadog grew as a harbour town shipping slate from the Ffestiniog quarries. The Cob, a sea wall built by William Madocks between 1808 and 1811, carries the road and railway across the estuary.
The town is the shared terminus of two heritage lines, the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway.
The van works the A55 corridor from Holyhead to Wrexham every Tuesday, collecting and delivering door to door. Your things ride to our Oxfordshire hub, then out on the destination's own weekly run. Every piece carries £50 of cover, and the price is the same in both directions.
