Slightly different for you Jim from me to

Warrington 106 mile round trip
South Shields 222 miles
Nuneaton 228 miles

They have not thought this one out very well. If they send an artic from Axminster to Warrington then on to South Shields, it is likely it will involve the M62 then up the M1/A1M, or if its straight to South Shields then straight up the M1, either way they pass through Yorkshire. Some one needs a lesson in transport logistics, unless it is a courier i.e eddie stobart then it will be peanuts wherever you are.

At least it will be a night out.
