About Hull

Based in the Yorkshire region and officially known as Kingston upon Hull, the city lies on the northern bank of the Humber estuary and is the biggest settlement in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and more people generally means more cars and more traffic. The city lies on particularly flat land which makes transportation easier, allowing for response to the demand for car parts from the more than 257,000 people living in the city.

Historically, Hull has been affected by tidal and storm flooding from the Humber which can have a negative impact on being able to get around in the area. The city remains a busy port, 

with the introduction of roll-on roll-off ferry services to the continent of Europe creating a large influx of people to the area; the ferries handle over a million passengers each year which can have a huge impact on congestion levels.

The distance travelled to work was previously said to be less than three miles for 64,578 out of 95,957 employed people, and although this is a rather short distance over 53,000 people still travel by car. With a total road length of around 464 miles the city is very well connected. The main road in and out of Hull is the M62 motorway/A63 road, one of the main east–west routes in the north of England. It provides a link to the other key cities such as Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool, as well as the wider country via the motorway network. Hull is also close to the Humber Bridge, which provides vital links to destinations south of the Humber. 

Unfortunately road transport in Hull is notorious for delays. This is caused both by the many bridges over the River Hull, which cuts through the city and can cause disruption at busy times, and from the three railway level crossings in the city. Steps have been taken to improve the level crossing issue, including the closure of lines and transfers to other high-level lines, as well as the construction of two major road bridges. 

The city has seen a slight decrease in the number of serious accidents in recent years, with a far higher number of men named as fatal and serious casualties than women. Collisions involving cars are the most common, with pedal cycles the second highest in terms of frequency. The need for accident repairs increases the demand for car parts in the area. 

Head to the Streetlife Museum of Transport, a museum located in Hull that showcases 200 years of transport history, including a 1940s high street and the opportunity to board a tram.

Buying replacement car parts from a breaker yard can enable you to get your car back on the road at a fraction of the usual cost, and often far quicker than when you buy new parts through a manufacturer.
