Halfway Along the M65, With a Choice of Directions

Accrington sits in the Hyndburn valley in East Lancashire, a town built on cotton and on the hard red bricks that were made here and used across the country. The Coppice rises behind it, and the moors start a short way beyond.

For an airport run, the town’s position on the M65 is what counts. From here your driver can go west towards Preston and the M6, or drop south through Haslingden to the M66 and M60. Which one is quicker depends on the hour, so we choose in the morning rather than always taking the same road.

We are a fully licensed operator running long-distance airport taxi work across East Lancashire every week. The service is the same whether you book an executive taxi for business travel or a family airport transfer with the child seats already fitted.

The Route from Accrington to Gatwick Airport

The Accrington to Gatwick Airport transfer is 265 miles and normally takes four hours and twenty-two minutes. Your driver takes the M65 west to the M6 near Preston, or heads south to the M66, then runs down past Birmingham and finishes on the M40, M25 and M23.

Having two ways out is a genuine advantage here. Towns further east on the M65 have only one sensible option, but from Accrington the southern route through Haslingden is often quicker late at night, while the M6 usually wins during the day.

We use the M40 near Birmingham rather than staying on the M6, which brings you onto the west side of the M25 where traffic normally moves better. We drop you right outside your terminal, and a break can be included on a run this length.
